While out on a lovely summer weekend day, Quincy Quarry happened upon a sizable presence of police rides on Kim Joch Koch Plaza in front of City Hall.
Granted, most of the police rides were tied to a police detail as there was a live music concert underway between Old City Hall and the Church of the Presidents at the time.
At the same time, the range, as well as the number of rides on hand, was more than a bit much as the concert featured Big Band era Swing Music and thus highly unlikely to give rise to a rowdy crowd.
No more Dunkies for you

Plus, while Quincy Quarry News is a strong supporter of public safety for the whole of the general public and thus a fan of police bicycles if for no other reason than working off Dunkie’s runs as well as speed responses of community police officers who are not provided with a police cruiser, a manner of mission creep looks to perhaps be at least a bit of a problem within the Quincy Police Department.
For example, the department’s mini off-road four-door mini cruiser.
After all, the Quincy Department has long had a number of military surplus Humvees that are more than capable to travel off-road as well as able to ford several feet of water if need be.
Plus, the Quincy Fire Department hosts the local emergency response dive team and thus has all manner of equipment to respond to water-based and all manner of other sorts of emergency response needs.
Note the sunroof on the QPD mini cruiser

Then again, the opportunity to score training time on overtime opportunities for training to respond to unlikely hypotheticals has certain appeals.
Even so, opting for the sunroof option on the Quincy Police Department’s off-road mini cruiser is a bit much.
Granted, not as much of too much as the $60,000 sticker price leather interior sporting Chevy Tahoe Secret Service Special Edition full-sized black SUV all but exclusively used by Quincy Mayor Koch even though he also receives a car allowance, but still more than a bit much.
Boyos also love motorized toys!

Also more than a bit much is the Quincy Police Department’s EV tricycle parked just inside of City Hall’s main entrance and thus ready to roll the next time there is the perceived by the mayor dire risk to law and order from the to-date perfectly peaceful local Black Lives Matters rallies or the always popular with the mayor local parage.
After all, Quincy’s peerless mayor loves to lead a parade, if not also secretly wishes he could be a marching band drum major and so acknowledge what at least some locals have long suspected.

Seeing all of the costly equipment parked at City hall makes my blood boil. Do any of these expensive toys keep us safer or have better response times?
Mayor Koch has no respect for our tax dollars!
Sunroof or turret? Is the “non-green” machine armored?
Keno,
The sunroof looks to be Kevlar-reinforced as well as appears to have a modified T-2 tripod swivel for use with an M240.
And those in power want to take our guns!
I was taught to never bring a toy to a gunfight 🙂
Does Koch shop in the Sears catalog?
Clearly suspect taste notwithstanding, no way can someone with his so-called stature buy off the rack anywhere, much less at Sears.
As the City of Quincy became more racially and ethnically diverse, the Quincy Police Department became more white and militarized.
That’s a bunch of crap. Maybe they should just build a wall on Newport Ave. Oh wait, they already did ?
I was driving sober down Handcock Street two weeks ago when I thought I saw two ninjas and a lion in the parking lot of the Wollaston Dunken Donuts.
After taking a hard look, it turned out to be two Quincy police officers dressed in black and a K-9. WTF!
Be honest, Keenen is prepping for the day when black lives don’t matter!
Police militarization is racist!
Truth be that B
