Police FLHTP


motorcycle was recently chosen as the best motorcycle in Police Fleet Manager magazine’s Police Vehicle Design Contest. The Evansville Police Traffi c Unit chose the Harley-Davidson®


FLHTP


motorcycle due to its rich tradition of reliable police motorcycles. They chose the “fl ying wheel” logo for the gas tank since it has been the standard symbol of a motor offi cer for over 60 years. The choice of the black-and-white paint is based on the traditional police colors and the instant recognition the colors bring. On the lower portion of the saddlebag a “Thin Blue Line” is painted that represents the thin line that maintains a civilized society and honors all fallen law offi cers.
