Corpus Christi Police Department Gets Four Replacement Motorcycles
CCPD Motorcycle fleet stands at 12 units
CORPUS CHRISTI, TX — At today’s regularly scheduled City Council meeting, the Council approved the Corpus Christi Police Department’s (CCPD) purchase of four new pursuit-rated Harley-Davidson motorcycles and upfitting for a total of $181,405.
This purchase will be funded by the Fleet Equipment Replacement Fund and involves replacing four of the eight 2018 models currently in use, as these have exceeded their intended four-year service life. One of these motorcycles was involved in an accident and is beyond repair. The overall fleet size will remain unchanged at 12 motorcycles.
Harley-Davidson redesigned its police responder units in 2026 to meet police requirements. These enhancements include integrated LED lighting, electronic upgrades, and a newly redesigned engine. The upgrades reduced associated upfitting costs.
The cost per unit increased over previous years due to tariffs and inflation, which have impacted material and production costs. Once the new motorcycles arrive, the older units will be retired and sent to public auction.
The proceeds from these sales will be allocated towards future replacements, ensuring the department maintains a modern and efficient fleet.
