The Centralia Police Department recently repainted two of its police cruisers from all black to a black and white color-scheme. One of the cars, assigned to Officer Wayne Compton, Centralia's school resource officer, was also decked out in stripes and paw prints for the Centralia High School Tigers.
When the Centralia Police Department sent out two police cars for new paint recently, one came back with an unusual color scheme.
Centralia School Resource Officer Wayne Compton received the 2008 Ford Crown Victoria this week. The vehicle was painted with Centralia High School Tiger stripes and paw prints on the trunk and rear fenders.
Compton said he wasn’t expecting the creative paint job.
“It’s a sharp looking car,” he said.
The police department recently had two all-black Crown Victorias repainted to give them a black and white color-scheme. Only Compton’s got the added tiger stripes.
He said he’s received a lot of compliments during the car’s first few days on campus.
“The kids like it,” he said. “I think it has a cool factor.”
Compton has been assigned as Centralia’s school resource officer since the 2007-2008 school year.
