Ask your questions and then get the answers through the experts working with Dodge, Ford and General Motors. If that isn’t enough, fi nd answers on your own as you experience the urban speed performance of today’s best police vehicles. On the fi rst day of the educational sessions, we jump in with
our manufacturer sessions. Our friends from Chevrolet, Dodge and Ford will discuss their latest off erings, newest safety and technology features, and off er you priceless information on the who’s who within their organizations. Even if you’re not shopping for a new fl eet, there is endless value to connecting names and information with the right people to help you get your job done. Adding the Ride & Drive to these sessions, plus the Expo
