In its efforts to reduce fuel costs and emission impacts on our environment, the Parchment Police Department purchased a hybrid electric vehicle in 2008 for general patrol duty.

Fuel costs have decreased more than 50% and carbon emissions reduced by 70%. This effort was recently highlighted by the Michigan Municipal League (MML) in its January/February issue of The Review.
