Did you know?

The history of the RAM brand dates back to 1917–1928, when the first utility vehicles were produced. In 1981, the first Dodge RAM pickup was introduced, and in 2009 RAM became a standalone brand when Chrysler separated its pickups from Dodge. Sheriff departments have been using RAM pickups since the 1980s. They are most commonly used in rural areas where four-wheel drive, a cargo bed, and off-road capability are required.

The RAM 1500 Hemi 5.7L eTorque is the fifth generation of RAM 1500 vehicles produced from 2018 to 2024. It features narrow LED headlights, a wide grille, muscular fenders, and a modern angular body. For sheriff use, the most common version is the four-door 4x4 with an eight-cylinder naturally aspirated engine and a 48V mild-hybrid system that assists acceleration and slightly reduces fuel consumption. Inside, the vehicle looks very luxurious, featuring a large touchscreen display, plenty of storage space, and a sliding rear bench.

The sheriff-used RAM has an upgraded electrical system for sirens, lights, and emergency equipment. Inside, there is a police computer, radio system, additional power outlets, and a microphone. For safety reasons, the rear area is often separated by a cage, the vehicle has reinforced locks and safety film, and some versions include ballistic door inserts. The vehicle contains storage compartments for a service pistol, pepper spray, and a baton, as well as a first aid kit and rescue equipment.

A sheriff is an elected county official responsible for an entire county—often covering thousands of square kilometers. While city police handle urban areas, sheriffs manage rural regions, roads outside cities, farms, and forests. They are authorized to stop and detain individuals, investigate crimes, make arrests, carry and use firearms, and respond to dangerous situations. Most sheriffs operate county jails, are responsible for inmates before trial, and handle prisoner transport. They also serve court documents, enforce court orders, ensure courthouse security, and sometimes carry out property seizures.
