The Town of Stanton is proud to announce the arrival of its first police vehicle, a fully equipped 2026 Ford Police Interceptor Utility, made possible through an investment by Ford Community Relations as part of Ford's Good Neighbor Plan.
The vehicle will serve as the primary patrol unit for the Stanton Police Department, which was formally established in 2025. The addition of the vehicle marks an important milestone in the Town's continued commitment to public safety and community service.
Public Safety is one of the key pillars of Ford's Good Neighbor Plan, reflecting Ford's commitment to the safety and well-being of communities surrounding the Tennessee Truck Plant. Through this investment, Ford Community Relations has helped equip the Stanton Police Department to serve a growing community.
"As Stanton continues to grow, the safety and well-being of our residents remains a top priority," said Mayor Norman Bauer Jr. "We are grateful to Ford Community Relations for this investment in our community. This vehicle strengthens our ability to provide professional public safety services while helping us build a safe and welcoming community for residents and visitors alike."
Police Chief Nigel Peeples expressed his appreciation for the investment and enthusiasm for the department's future.
"I am honored to serve the residents of Stanton and look forward to utilizing this vehicle as we continue building strong relationships within the community," said Chief Peeples. "This vehicle provides an important tool to help us serve effectively, respond to community needs, and ensure Stanton remains a safe place to live, work, and visit."
The establishment of the Stanton Police Department and acquisition of its first patrol vehicle are part of the Town's broader efforts to enhance municipal services and prepare for the opportunities associated with continued growth throughout the region.
