The UNT Police Department is moving toward a green fleet with the introduction of six new hybrid police vehicles, ordered in 2019. The police department estimates they will save more than $3,000 per vehicle annually and eliminate an estimated 19,539 pounds of CO2 per year. "UNT has a clearly established mission with 'green' philosophies and groups like the We Mean Green Fund," says UNT Police Capt. Jeremy Polk. "We knew we could help in that area by moving to hybrid patrol vehicles once they became available."
