Police Vehicles

More police officers in the U.K. will be behind the wheels of General Motors products after Vauxhall Motors Special Vehicles becomes the country's biggest supplier of low and intermediate police vehicles, winning contracts for six police regions. Contracts from a tender process initiated by the National Policing Improvement Agency mean 37 of the U.K.'s 52 police authorities will buy Vauxhall vehicles. This involves delivery of about 7,000 cars and vans over the next four years, including the Corsa, Astra, Insignia, Astravan, Combo, Vivaro and Movano.

what are your thoughts on the new focus ? I might get an estate version for the extra room. i do prefer it too the Golf or astra (astra has very loose steering)

Hi people, Some of you may recognise me from Flickr. Those that don't, you may be interested in my Flickr photo-stream. I currently have over 1700 photos online mainly from Essex and London. New photos are updated most days so don't forget to keep an eye on it The link to my Flickr photo-stream is - http://www.flickr.com/photos/chris999/ Please feel free to leave a comment on individual photos. In addition to my Flickr photo-stream, I have recently created a Emergency Vehicle Website.. Due to the high number of pictures I have to upload, there are not that many online at the moment.. I hope that all photos will be uploaded by the 10.2.2012. The link to my website is…

So... Are they any good? Haven't got one on division yet but has anyone got any experience of them?

I received a Christmas card from the Special Escort Group this morning. I noticed on the front they have a Honda wrapped up as a present. Anyone know what model they are going to be using. I take it the BMW's will be phased out.

Currently being tested by the Dutch Police.

I've not yet found this topic (awaits a mod to send me a link and show me up... ) What's the best ever police car you've driving and why? There's officers from almost every force in the UK on this site....so I'll start... The unmarked 2007 ford focus hatchback, 1.6 petrol.. nippy with good handling and v easy to drive through rush hour.. it's not like steering a tank (aka the met psu's!)

Is anyone attending the Emergency Services Show this year?? http://www.emergencyuk.com/Content/The-Emergency-Services-Show-2011/1/

Sorry if this one has already been discussed New Met Police X5 ARV

I think Audi's would make GREAT police cars for BTP

Curious how does your force keep the vehicles looking good? Please explain how you yourself maintain your personal vehicles shine and lustre. I know how I keep my wrangler looking good,but I am curious how this is done in the UK... Please forego the obvious sarcastic comments we all love to read on here... I am looking for serious discussion on vehicle cleaning and polishing. Thanks MLEO

Need help from any vintage police vehicle gurus. The pin on the left is the Volvo 240 Police Special. Circa 1985. Any clues to the Volvo on the right

Now this would look amazing as a Police A.R.V. !!! EDIT : i just noticed the car in the video clip hasnt got front number plates.... it would need a number plate on the front too or BTP would start frothing at the mouth - lmao !!!

Despite my searches on the fourm, hopefully i can show you some orginal pictures of a squad car, to be produced next year: ..also, mute this and play this . Honestly it looks like the new 2013 Robocop film! (but ..real). for sake of the HUGE file just posted more pictures here, here and here. (viewers must be over 18! *jk*)

Never seen this in manchester before, very weird livery
