The 2020 Ford Explorer Police Interceptors were purchased through a grant received from the Gila River Indian Community in September 2019. They were purchased from Show Low Ford in October of last year but closures due to the pandemic delayed receipt of the vehicles. The vehicles were finally delivered to HPD on Aug. 4 then outfitted by Airwave Communications in Tempe.
