On February 1, a member of the Vermont State Police (VSP)
brought to the attention of VSP Fleet Services that some of the VSP
cruiser door decals were inappropriately modified during the design
and printing process. The Vermont State Police emblem was printed
at the Vermont Correctional Industries Print Shop, a section of the
State of Vermont Department of Corrections. The Print Shop is
contracted by VSP to design and produce decals and other print
graphic products.
The modifications made to the design specifically involve the cow
pictured in the lower right portion of the decal and contains an
image of a pig on the cow's shoulder.
VSP Fleet Services believes that there are approximately 30
cruisers that were equipped with these decals over the past
year. The process of removing the sixty 16" door decals will
begin as soon as practical.
"While some may find humor in the decal modifications," said Major
Bill Sheets, "the joke unfortunately comes at the expense of the
tax payers."
Officials from the Department of Corrections Print Shop are working
diligently to correct the emblem and print new decals for the
Vermont State Police. The source and timing of the modifications
are still being reviewed by the Department of Corrections.
Any remaining decals have been destroyed.
