The AP shocks with Police Cars May Feature Advertising:
"I don't want my officers driving around in a car that says, `Trojan: Ribbed for extra pleasure'"...Time to think outside the box - how about the City Council members wearing advertising tee shirts during the Council meetings? And how about garbage trucks?
The deal works like this: A police department agrees to put ads on its patrol cars, usually on the hoods or on the side and rear. In return, Government Acquisitions provides new patrol cars to the department for $1, and replaces them every three years. The company keeps the ad revenue. ...
"I'll be happy to slap someone's name on our municipal building if they give us enough money," North Brunswick Mayor David Spaulding said. ...
Michael Moriarty, North Brunswick's public safety director, said officers from other communities find the idea hilarious. They have been calling up, pretending to be from Hooters and offering to sponsor a car.
