50 Ford Taurus Police Car – Kenyan Govt

AutoZone Assembling LLC converted and supplied 50 Ford Taurus police cars to the Kenyan government for patrol and response duties.

The brief covered a full emergency lighting package on each car. We fitted main lightbars for primary signalling and identification, grille lights for forward warning, and side lights to widen peripheral visibility. Patrol cars spend much of their service life in traffic and in the dark, so lighting placement decides how early other drivers register the vehicle. We set the positions around how the cars would actually be used: stationary at a scene, moving through congestion, and approaching at speed.

The harder part was electrical. A police lighting package draws heavily on a car never designed to carry one, and badly routed wiring shows up later as failed circuits and warranty problems. Our engineering team built mounting solutions and wiring configurations that keep the loads within tolerance and leave the body panels and interior trim intact. Nothing is bolted through where it will corrode, and every run stays accessible for repair.

Fleet conversions carry a second requirement that one-off builds do not. All 50 cars had to come out identical, so a crew moving between vehicles finds the same switches in the same places and a workshop can service any car in the fleet the same way. We worked from a fixed specification for every unit and inspected each one against it before release. The cars went into service with Kenyan police units and handle day and night patrol work. We convert patrol cars, armored vehicles, and special vehicles for police and security forces across Africa and the Middle East.
