From YouTube: Squad Car Tour
Description
Community Resource Officer Kruger (CROK) gives an in-depth tour of an Ames Police squad car.
A
Hi
I'm
community
resource
officer
Kruger
with
the
Ames
Police
Department,
better
known
as
croc-
we're
here
today
to
give
a
tour
of
an
Ames
police
squad
car
so
come
on
along
as
we
tour
the
police
car,
so
we're
gonna
start
at
the
front
of
the
police
car
here
and
you're,
always
gonna
notice,
one
of
these
big
metal.
Looking
things,
it's
called
a
push
bumper.
What
officers
can
do
with
this
is
if
a
car's
broke
down
or
involved
in
a
car
accident,
we
need
to
get
it
off
the
roadway
safely.
A
Officers
are
able
to
pull
up
to
this
and
they
can
touch
the
vehicle
in
front
of
them
and
we
can
push
them
out
of
the
roadway
and
it
doesn't
really
leave
any
damage
to
our
vehicle
or
their
vehicle.
So
it's
a
very
handy
tool
that
is
used
we'll
go
around
the
side
of
the
squad
car
here
as
you'll
see
another
big
thing
that
you're
gonna
notice.
You
always
see
these
on
the
police
cars.
This
is
a
giant
spotlight
that
officers
can
use
from
inside,
which
we'll
show
you
in
a
little
bit
here.
A
But
officers
are
able
to
turn
this
every
which
direction
they
want
to
go,
and
it's
just
a
giant
spotlight
that
they
can
use
on
the
side
of
the
mirror,
we're
all
about
being
visible
and
being
seen.
These
are
little
lights
on
here
for
our
emergency
lights,
so
these
are
red
and
blue
lights
when
we
need
to
have
them
going,
of
course,
on
top
of
a
police,
car
you'll
see
our
giant
light
bar
up
here.
A
This
has
lots
of
white
lights
that
we
can
just
use,
and
it
also
has
all
of
our
emergency
red
and
blue
lights
in
here,
so
that
we
can
be
very
visible
on
the
roadway.
So
people
can
see
is
coming
on
the
back
of
our
police
car.
We
have
several
different
items:
you'll
always
notice,
you'll
see
Ames
Police
Department
in
reflective
tape.
It
helps
us
to
be
more
visible.
Our
vehicles
are
the
Ford
Explorer,
the
hybrid
model,
all-wheel
drive.
They
are
extremely
eco,
friendly,
very
great
for
the
community.
A
Up
top
you'll
see
more
lights,
more
of
our
emergency
lights
right
in
here
that
we
can
turn
red
and
blue.
So
the
lights
keep
us
safe
and
it
keeps
you
safe
if
we're
dealing
with
you,
because
we
want
to
be
as
visible
as
we
possibly
can
so
that
everybody
can
see
us
and
nobody
gets
hurt,
indicate
call
9-1-1
if
you
ever
have
an
emergency.
If
you
think
that
your
life
is
in
danger,
if
someone
else's
life
is
in
danger,
don't
hesitate,
always
call
9-1-1
right
away.
A
Again,
you
see
more
of
the
emergency
lights
same
as
the
drivers
side.
We
also
have
the
emergency
lights
on
this
again.
We
want
to
be
as
visible
as
we
can
when
we're
out
there
streets,
making
sure
that
we're
safe
and
this
you're
safe
as
well.
If
we're
dealing
with
you
come
on
along,
let's
get
into
the
inside.
A
So,
as
you
can
see,
it's
a
lot
like
a
regular
car
that
you
would
drive
at
home,
but
it
also
has
features
to
help
us
do
our
job.
So,
as
we
talked
about
before
here
is
where
the
handle,
where
I
can
run
that
spotlight
and
it
rotates
it
all
around
as
I'm
driving
up
top
in
here.
If
you
swing
in
a
little
closer,
you
can
see
our
radar
machine
right
here.
A
So
this
can
tell
us
how
fast
people
are
going
and
their
speeds
will
pop
up
here
on
our
actual
little
dashboard
right
up
here,
and
it
tells
me
how
fast
I'm
going
how
fast
the
person
is
going
if
they
are
speeding
or
not
we'll
keep
going
right
in
the
front
up
front
here.
You
see
this
little
device
right
here.
This
is
actually
a
camera
system.
It
has
multiple
different
angles
on
it,
which
we
can
look
at
from
our
display
screen
up
here.
Next,
something
that
we
use
quite
often
is
our
computer.
A
This
is
how
we
run
all
of
our
systems.
We
can
communicate
with
other
officers
other
agencies
within
storey,
County
or
dispatch.
It
would
also
show
us
our
calls
for
service
when
I
have
up
our
application,
that
we
use
due
to
the
confidential
nature
of
some
of
the
items
on
that.
I
can't
show
you
some
of
that
screen,
but
it
would
also
show
us
where
all
the
officers
are
in
case
they
want
to
respond.
We
needed
to
get
to
them,
so
you'll
see
officers
on
the
side
of
the
road.
Often
on
the
computer,
looks
like
this.
A
You
know
they're
not
playing
on
the
internet.
We
are
using
this
for
to
do
our
jobs,
there's
a
lot
of
typing
that
goes
into
our
work,
so
we've
always
documented
what
we
do.
So
it's
very
common.
You
see
officers
parked
in
parking
lots
alongside
the
roads
and
they're
looking
up
information
about
calls
for
service
people
that
we're
interacting
with
or
we're
just
trying
to
get
our
work
done
for
the
day.
Next
little
item
you
see
on
here
very
common
that
we
will
use
if
this
is
our
radio
system.
A
A
Now,
when
we
were
talking
about
the
radar
machine
up
here,
this
detects
how
fast
people
are
going.
This
shows
me
how
fast
they're
going-
and
this
allows
me
to
control
that
so
I
can
check
speed
that
our
traffic
that's
coming
at
us.
I
can
check
traffic.
That's
coming
behind
me,
going
the
same
direction
all
done
on
a
remote
kind
of
like
a
TV
remote,
this
kind
of
controls,
my
radar
system.
A
As
you
see
it's
like
a
normal
car,
where
I've
got
my
radio
system,
it
would
show
me
what
music
I'm
playing
if
I
need
to
turn
the
air
conditioner
on
the
heater
on
all
very
common
to
everyday
vehicles.
Now
I
was
talking
about
our
microphone
that
is
attached
to
our
radio
system.
This
is
our
radio
system
here,
so
I
can
adjust
the
volume
up
if
I
need
to
change
the
channels
to
talk
to
different
agencies
or
talk
to
somebody
different
I.
A
Can
flip
right
through
all
those
channels,
however,
I
wanted
to
do
or
whoever
I
was
needing
to
a
talk
to
down
below
I'll
turn
this
car
on,
so
you
can
see
the
some
lights
will
switch
up,
but
this
is
my
control
system
for
all
of
our
lights.
I
have
an
air
horn,
which
is
very
loud
in
case
I'm,
trying
to
get
someone's
attention
if
I
need
to
turn
my
lights
on.
A
A
This
is
how
I
turn
the
siren
on.
So
we
have
multiple
different
options
that
we
can
do
with
our
emergency
signal,
as
I
talked
about
before.
If
you
look
up
top
here
of
our
emergency
lights,
there'll
be
a
left
alley,
light
I
can
turn
on
and
off
so
with
the
giant
spotlight
and
then
in
front
now,
I
can
turn
on
all
those
white
lights.
That
I
was
talking
about
before.
A
I
can
also,
if
you
go
on
the
back
side
of
our
emergency
lights,
I
can
also
make
there
an
arrow,
so
I
can
change
directions.
That
say:
I
want
cars
behind
me
to
get
over
to
the
left.
I.
Keep
it
like
that
if
I
want
cars
to
move
over
to
the
right,
I
can
turn
it
like
this
and
if
the
roads
kind
of
blocked,
we
just
want
everybody
be
aware
that
we're
here
we
can
make
the
arrows,
go
both
directions,
kind
of
at
the
same
time
or
just
a
caution.
A
So
those
are
just
some
of
the
great
features
that
we
use
on
a
daily
basis,
all
right
and
just
as
I
talked
about
before,
like
a
normal
car,
our
police
car
has
two
cupholders.
Often
you
have
a
water
bottle
and
if
you
need
a
little
caffeine,
somebody
laughs,
coffee
or
pop
or
whatever
there
are
other
choices
we
have
different
electronics
to
plug
in.
A
A
We
have
a
printer
in
our
cars,
so
if
we
need
to
print
something
out
or
if
somebody
got
a
citation
for
speeding
or
not
wearing
their
seatbelt,
we
use
that
on
a
computer
when
we
print
it.
It
comes
right
out
of
this
machine
or
right
here,
right
in
front
of
us
very
quick
and
handy.
We
like
to
keep
a
lot
of
cleaning
products
on
hand
to
keep
our
vehicles
clean.
A
A
Lots
of
lots,
lubber
gloves
to
make
sure
that
we're
safe
and
keeping
you
safe.
As
you
can
see
here,
these
are
our
long
guns.
The
squad
car
is
outfitted
with
a
police,
shotgun
and
a
rifle
in
case.
We
need
to
get
into
an
emergency
type
situation.
We
would
have
those
these
are
all
locked
up.
They
are
a
secure
code
to
try
to
unlock
them
so
that,
if
somebody
broke
into
our
vehicle,
they
couldn't
just
get
in
here
and
actually
take
these
out.
A
So
there
are
some
special
features
that
need
to
be
done
in
order
to
unlock
the
guns.
So
if
we
are
transporting
somebody
and
we
have
somebody's
transported
in
our
back
seat,
we
can
see
them
through
the
plexiglass
screen
that
we
have
and
we
can
talk
to
them.
We
just
have
to
be
a
little
louder
since
they're
on
the
other
side
of
a
screen.
So
the
plexiglass
back
here
that
we
have
this
kind
of
keeps
anybody
that
we
are
transporting
in
the
backseat
so
that
they
cannot
get
out
for
any
reason.
A
If
they're
not
supposed
to
be
able
to
get
out
now
we'll
take
a
look
and
see
what
it
looks
like
back
there
as
you
can
see
in
the
back
seat
again,
it's
similar
to
everyday
cars.
We
have
two
seats.
We
have
seatbelts
that
we
keep
up
here
at
all
time.
So
it's
easiest.
If
we
have
to
sit
down
and
transport
somebody,
they
sit
down
and
we
can
just
get
them
buckled
right
in
super
easy
and
quick.
A
They
are
made
out
of
plastic,
so
it's
not
gonna
be
as
comfy
as
your
vehicle
at
home
in
case
there's
any
thing
that
needs
to
get
cleaned
up
back
here
and
you
spills
it's
a
lot
easier
to
clean
this
up
in
case
you've
ever
spilled,
something
in
the
backseat
of
your
car,
so
that
makes
it
very
convenient,
as
you
can
see
again,
there's
kind
of
a
cage
here
in
the
back.
So
that
way,
if
we're
transporting
someone
and
they're
not
supposed
to
get
out,
we
can
keep
them
in
here.
A
If
you
look
at
the
windows
as
well,
there
is
that
plexiglass
on
here,
so
that
the
window
couldn't
get
broke
for
any
reason
assholey.
As
you
notice,
the
other
difference
is,
there
are
no
door
handles.
So
if
we
are
transporting
somebody
back
here,
obviously
we
don't
want
someone
to
get
out,
so
we
make
sure
that
they
would
be
locked
in
here,
we'll
go
to
the
back
and
take
a
look
at
some
other
fun
rules
that
we
have
all
right
now,
we'll
take
a
look
at
the
back
of
a
squad.
Car.
A
A
Bandits
any
kind
of
simple
first
day
that
we
need,
along
with
some
severe
first
aid
kit
trauma
kits
so
what
a
hazmat.
We
have
a
hazmat
suit,
gloves
goggles
in
here.
So
in
case
an
officer
gets
on
scene
and
then
you
need
to
make
sure
that
they
don't
want
to
get
any
thing.
That's
there
on
their
clothes
or
their
person.
They
can
put
the
suit,
there's
an
actual
suit
that
they
put
on.
So
it
covers
up
their
arms.
It's
just
like
putting
on
a
giant
coveralls
to
go
sledding
so
to
speak.
A
Next
we
have
here
is
our
a
IDI.
I'll
show
you
so
all
of
our
police
cars
have
one
of
these
because
in
case
you
have
to
call
9-1-1.
We
don't
respond
to
just
crimes
that
are
in
progress.
If
someone
was
having
a
life-or-death
medical
condition
we
show
up
and
since
we're
out
on
the
streets,
we're
gonna
be
the
first
person
they're,
typically
in
a
life-or-death
situation.
A
A
A
Next,
all
police
cars
are
going
to
have
in
there
is
a
bagful
of
paperwork,
all
sorts
of
different
papers
that
we
need
to
use
for
doing
our
jobs
and
documenting
different
things.
So
every
police
car
is
going
to
have
one
of
those
we
have
most
of
that
on
our
computers
as
well.
But
a
paper
copy
is
always
great.
A
A
Plate
carrier
best,
so
if
you
had
another
person
that
was
with
you
or
you
had
to
slip
on
extra
protection,
it's
basically
a
bulletproof
vests
that
you
could
put
on
over
top
of
you
or
if
you
had
somebody
else
with
you
that
didn't
have
one
for
some
odd
reason.
We
could
put
that
on
them
as
well
to
protect
them
a
couple
things
up
here.
We
use
officers
yuji's
on
a
regular
basis.
This
is
a
sound
meter
that
every
vehicle
is
gonna
have
so
in
case
we're
doing
a
noise
complaint.
B
A
A
These
are
our
stop
sticks,
so
in
case
a
vehicle
was
trying
to
run
from
police
and
we
were
trying
to
get
it
stopped.
We
could
use
these
and
officers
could
station
up
ahead
of
him
down
the
road
and
they
would
unwind
it.
Throw
this
all
the
way
across
the
road
wind,
some
of
the
Rope
up
and
then
when
a
car
would
go
right
over
the
top
of
it.
It
would
pop
their
tires
and
hopefully
slow
them
down
so
that
they
could
be
apprehended
later.
So,
in
the
last
store
we
got
here,
we've
got.
A
If
you
want
to
come
in
here,
this
is
an
officer's
patrol
roll
up
to
a
let's
say
a
burglary,
or
they
need
to
get
any
kind
of
fingerprints
or
footprints
potentially
for
evidence
of
a
crime
as
to
who
the
suspect
is.
This
was
kind
of
what
a
mini
kit
would
look
like.
So
there's
different
evidence
bags.
They
collect
things,
they
can
put
them
in
different
kinds
of
bags.
More
gloves,
always
again
more
bags.
B
A
There
are
different
types
of
fingerprint
dust
collectors,
so
essentially
we
can
use
the
tape.
There
are
different
kinds
of
powders
different
types
of
colors
that
she
could
put
and
it's
just
a
little
powder
on
there.
I
could
sprinkle
that
powder
on
there
and
I
could
try
and
collect
fingerprints.
Rub
it
all
over
and
see
if
there's
any
prints
on
there
and
that
there
was
prints.
A
Then
we
simply
get
out
some
tape
and
we
can
put
some
tape
over
it
and
try
to
collect
those
fingerprints.
We
keep
more
batteries
in
here.
In
case
we
have
cameras,
there's
different
size
of
tapes,
depending
on
how
big
of
an
object
you're,
trying
to
pull
prints
off
of
there's
little
stickers
that
have
measurements
on
there.
So
we
know
how
big
something
is.
A
We
have
little
swabs
like
q-tips
swabs.
If
we
need
to
collect
evidence,
we
also
keep
on
hand
like
a
little
fingerprint
card.
So
in
case
we
found
fingerprints.
I
would
want
to
take
your
fingerprints
to
make
sure
that
the
fingerprints
I
found
weren't
yours
so
that
we
could
try
to
get
the
suspect
thanks
for
coming
along
and
the
tool
of
our
Ames
police
car
hope
you
learned
something
and
hope
it
was
fun
for
you
we'll
see
you
next
time.
