Hi,

 

I'm wondering how the LAPD unit numbers displayed on the car work. For example, I see three different numbers.

 

1. Under the logo on the driver door: usually a 5-digit number

2. On the top of the vehicle, just behind the lightbar: usually a 3-digit number

3. On the trunk of the vehicle: usually a 2-digit number

So my question once again: how do these numbers work? Is one a department number? Car number? Division number? Location number?

 

I'm working on a couple skins and want to use the same system as shown on the LAPD vehicles.

 

Thanks in advance,

Hello.

LAPD Vehicles are marked with a unique 5-digit shop number on the driver door and/or trunk, with the last 3 on the roof of the vehicle, which is used for rapid identification by police helicopters. The 2-digit number on the trunk corresponds to their division number.
