On the third pic the background vehicle lacks lights and siren. Serves as a transport for traffic police volunteers. All cars on the pics belong to the police force aka militia, and all but three - to the Road police dept (GAI).

 

Till 1968 there was no unified color scheme or beacon regulation, however the most commonly used was blue-with-a-red-stripe. Some were using a single light bulb, some installed red-and-blue lights. After that a yellow-and-blue livery was established, but again there were differences among the country. Cars turned grey and subsequently white during 80's (no reliable info on the exact date), and in 90's it was all sorted out: red and blue beacons were assigned exclusively for road police and white-and-blue became the main painting scheme. 

 

 

Thanks for the info, Hastings!

 

 

From this guy's Flickr gallery which has some quite awesome and gritty shots of classics and which is worth taking a look at.

Van since I love vans:

 

I dont really like the old colors of the police but some  of them are pretty nice yet.

 

 

 

not sure if anyones used this I'm new to the thread 

I found a NYPD stepvan auxiliary support trucks

Can someone tell me if the NYPD auxiliary actuallty owned this or did someone on LCPDFR just make this up?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Interesting one. That's a Connecticut State Police cruiser, correct? The next one is a picture of the Connecticut State Police during a raid in a Hells Angels club in Bridgeport in May 1985.

Those were actualy units. I made the texture after some video FCV96 showed me of one of those in action.

Yes that's Connect! Are those two detectives? They sure look like ones )

 

Some more Connect vans, 'cause I love... You know.

Note how many plates the van has. I know some truckers do that for taxation purposes, but a police car?..

 

 

By the way, that's a wonderful Aux livery. Truth is, they all were better back in time - check Housing with their amazing yellow roofs. Now Aux cars are identical to regular, and there's nothing for eye to catch!

Here some picture of old cars of Rio de Janeiro's Military State Police

 

Chevrolet Blazer in 2 different paintjobs

 

 

Old paintjob in a Volkswagen Gol:

 

 

 

NYPD bomb squad

 

@Hastings: Judging by the pants they seem to me like simple regular officers dressed with trenchcoats. They certainly have some Columbo detective vibe haha. Good eye with the multiple license plate thing, hopefully someone will give an answer to it; now I am intrigued by it as well haha.

 

 

 

Post edited, damn pictures show up broken...

 

Do you guys have any pictures of the NYPD ESU officers during the 70's or 80's?

I've seen that before, I am looking for ESU officers in particular.

Here are some photos from policeny labeled ESU/ESS.  Most of these appear to be rescue-based objectives and not combat-based ones, and the uniforms therefore seem reflect those normal officers.

This photo (and the others you posted above) is fantastic, 43lincoln.  I also like that you can also see an NYC-EMS Suburban in the background. :D

I found a lot of pics, so you guys hit another pot 'o' gold!

 

Here's a few more!

 

^ I wished that there were more of these types of police cars being modeled/textured, rather than CVPI's.

 

Cheers.

Polizei VW Golf Cabrio... What... the... hell...

Seems that there are barely old pictures of the ESU with the combat gear. Shame.
