(AP) — Grand Island has been struggling to get a dozen new police cruisers out on the streets.

Chief Steve Lamken said the new vehicles presented a problem with the changeover to mobile data terminals. He hopes to have them deployed by the end of June.

The new parts needed to adapt the new Ford Taurus-based cruisers to accommodate technological changes have arrived and the wiring and retrofitting have begun.

The new technology is expected to save time for officers.
