Residents of Sainte-Thérèse, Rosemère, Boisbriand, and Lorraine will soon notice a striking new presence on their streets: the Régie intermunicipale de police Thérèse-De Blainville (RIPTB) has unveiled its brand-new patrol vehicle design, a bold reimagining that fuses modern aesthetics with the force’s core values.
The official unveiling took place last Thursday in Sainte-Thérèse, with mayors Christian Charron (Sainte-Thérèse), Éric Westram (Rosemère), Christine Beaudette (Boisbriand), and Jean Comtois (Lorraine) in attendance. The event celebrated not just the sleek design but also the collaborative spirit that brought it to life.
A Project Born from the Ranks
The idea didn’t come from an outside agency or a top-down directive—it started with two patrol officers, Nicolas Cromp and Jérémy Primeau. Last winter, the pair proposed a fresh approach to vehicle lettering, one that would better reflect the RIPTB’s identity and mission.
What followed was a model of collaboration. Cromp and Primeau consulted widely with colleagues, ensuring that the redesign resonated across the force. Their initiative culminated in a new look that carries a powerful message.
Symbols on Wheels
Painted in a sleek black base, the new patrol cars are instantly recognizable thanks to their innovative two-tone accents: blue striping on one side, green on the other. The design is more than eye-catching—it’s symbolic.
Emblazoned on the vehicles are four words that define the RIPTB’s ethos: Peace, Partnership, Strength, Accessibility. These guiding principles now ride alongside every officer on patrol, serving as a visible reminder of the force’s commitment to the communities it serves.
“This new vehicle is far more than just a tool of the trade,” said RIPTB Director Luc Larocque. “It embodies our pride, our modernity, and the strong sense of belonging that unites our men and women.”
A Step Toward Modernization
The unveiling signals the beginning of a larger effort to update the organization’s image and reinforce its ties with the public. By placing values front and center, the RIPTB hopes to strengthen community trust and highlight the human element behind the badge.
For the officers who will soon be behind the wheel, the redesign is a daily affirmation of purpose. For residents, it’s a fresh and dynamic visual symbol of security and partnership.
In the coming months, citizens across the RIPTB territory will gradually see the new fleet roll out onto local streets—bringing with it not only a new look but also a renewed promise of service.
