[Scan-DC] Mont Co Police Announce New, Safer Patrol Car Markings

[Thomas P. Clouse]

Notice they mentioned the Caprice. I caught a glimpse of the a Mo Co
Caprice PPV with the new markings at an intersection but I didn't get a
very good look.

For those non-car people, the Caprice is the new rear wheel drive police
and taxi platform that replaces the front wheel drive Impala.
