Some Ford employees want to stop building police cars.
If they do this it amounts to nothing more than corporate pandering for publicity and sales. I hope it bites them in the butt because if they follow through with it I will never consider buying a Ford again. Bob
fine and dandy...when the employees get together and demand to stop making police cars...then ford can say OK...and now your jobs are done also..report to the paymaster and draw your last check..we DO NOT need you anymore....after a short period of time ford can hire people WHO WANT TO WORK... and resume building what the buyer wants

Freedom and a submissive populace cannot co-exist.
The Crown Vic was a fantastic patrol car. Plenty of power, speed, and stability with lots of space inside for everything and everyone. Besides, it LOOKED like a police vehicle. Today, it seems like everything can become a cop-car. Just put a light bar on it, slap on some gaudy logos and off you go.

If Ford does not want to sell specific vehicle types, they should not complain when customers needing those specific types buy them somewhere else.
What . . . they believe the police departments will stop driving if they can't buy a vehicle from them?
How complicated can it be?
