The FUGAKU Buck - Simple County Sheriff Office Edition is a stealthy, all-black law enforcement kei truck, purpose-built for patrol, enforcement, and parking control in Simple County.

Design & Features:

Color Scheme: Fully blacked-out for a tactical and authoritative presence.

Lighting: Equipped with a roof-mounted light bar for emergency response.

Front End: Reinforced ram bar for light-duty vehicle intervention and obstacle clearing.

Drivetrain: 4WD, rear-engine layout for enhanced maneuverability on both paved roads and off-road terrain.

Utility: Small yet practical, ideal for patrols in tight urban areas, dirt roads, and community events.

Purpose & Role:

This kei truck serves as a compact but rugged enforcement vehicle, perfect for secondary patrol duties, rural policing, and parking enforcement. Its small size makes it ideal for maneuvering through crowded streets, enforcing parking laws, and issuing tickets, while the blackout design gives it a more aggressive law enforcement look. Despite its compact frame, it remains a reliable and efficient tool for Simple County Sheriff’s Office operations.

How It Got into Service:

1. Budget Constraints & Practicality:

Simple County faced budget limitations when looking to expand its fleet for parking enforcement and rural patrols.

Traditional patrol vehicles were too costly to maintain, and their size made them impractical for tight city streets and off-road trails.

1. Seized & Repurposed:

The FUGAKU Buck was originally imported illegally, but after being seized in a vehicle smuggling sting operation, it was impounded.

Rather than auctioning it off, the Sheriff’s Office saw potential in its compact, rugged design and repurposed it for law enforcement use.

1. Modifications & Deployment:

The county’s vehicle maintenance team outfitted it with a light bar, ram bar, and a blacked-out paint job to match department standards.

It was officially assigned to parking enforcement officers and deputies handling secondary patrol duties in urban and rural areas.

Now, the FUGAKU Buck - SCSO Edition serves as a low-cost, efficient, and unique patrol vehicle, proving that even a kei truck can be a valuable asset to law enforcement.
