oh baby a triple post
Riots at Milwaukee, 1967.


Police established a Command Post in an empty Shuster's warehouse located at North Fourth Street and West Garfield Avenue.


Brink's trucks served as armored cars for officers to protect from sniper fire.


Tape was put on the squad window to prevent shattering from thrown debris.


White helmets and batons were ofter spray painted black by officers so they wouldn't stick out so much to snipers. Note the shotgun sticking out of the ambulance window in the background.

The city goes up in smoke as officers battle rioters.

Exhausted officers slept outside due to the heat inside of the Command Post.

Roadblocks by both police and National Guard troops were set up throughout the city in an attempt to control the disorder.

The tribe. They enforce the Navajo Nation, a semi-autonomous territory belonging to said tribe, located between Arizona, Utah and New Mexico. Seems like they changed to white liveries later, as can be seen in the next pictures.

I wonder if FHP purchased that Datsun or it was a seized vehicle like the Mustang the NYPD had in the 1990's.
@Sergiyj, is the last picture with the Maine State Police Chevy from some movie or something?

Michigan State Police Plymouth Furys in a motor vehicle accident scene, sometime during the 1980's. I couldn't find the actual description behind it.

For the record, I like the styling of that generation of LTD. The early 70s design had a cooler, more distinctive look IMO.

Not really sure but I believe that the SFPD used them - or at least every seventies movie set there features them -. With the black and white paint job they must look great.
I came across with my platonic love the other day, wish the owner let me take it for a drive.

It was a flop for Ford, it sold so poorly that it was dropped after 3 model years. By the late 70's their was no market for gigantic sedans. Dodge/Chevy had already stopped offering the full-size Impala and Monaco at this time, leaving the LTD as a lame duck. Doesn't helped it looked so damn ugly.
Edit: Hmm, just saw your signature... Im dumb
Indeed, when everyone else had begun to shrink their products (mention to GM B bodies as direct full size equivalent), Ford kept producing land yatch almost into the 1980’s. Basically they were late for the downsize party, just take a look at the T-bird.
GM on the other side did a real good job with the resized Impala/Caprice, either aesthetic and mechanically.

And still on the downsize subject, I came across this picture which is not really related to police stuff but found it worth to be posted either way. New Chevrolet meets Old Cadillac circa 1977 in Medford, Mass.

1966 Ford Wagon from the now defunct Massachusetts Metropolitan Police or Metropolitan District Commission Police.


I'd say 1965-67 Fords had one of the sharpest looking designs of the whole brand history.

So the law is telling "Let people die of starvation"?
The human kind stupidity will never stop to amaze me.
You know, because homeless people are visual pollution, they are smelly and simply lazy people who refuse to work and instead prefer to live off the Government and hard working citizens. They should have started their own business with the change their were given, like that guy did with 1 dollar, and live the dream but they prefered to keep living between some boxes.
I love when Governments don't give a fuck about their own people.

Speaking about unusual colors, that's Canadian emergency VIP taxi... Well, no, it's Toronto copcar.

... and unusual cop car, Ford Pinto.



A (then) brand-new Chevrolet Caprice 9C1 awaits outfitting, while in the background, recently decommissioned Plymouth Caravelles await a trip to the auction block (Toronto Metro Police).

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


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.
Seems that there are barely old pictures of the ESU with the combat gear. Shame.
-
I've seen that before, I am looking for ESU officers in particular.
-
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?
-
@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.

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.

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

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

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.

Behind The Iron Curtain, lol :D
That lightbar, lol

Gaz 24, right? nice looking car... Great post, I've been interested to look into the Russian police vehicles during the USSR yet never really took the time to start searching for anything. Just which is the difference between the yellow and white cars, I mean, are they from different agencies or stuff?

Well I've been in an open relationship with my right hand since I broke with my ex-gf. Hope that answers your question.

@strike: the first photo will be my new wallpaper

@FCV96: that radio, Motorola MX300 series to be precise, is considered to be the most reliable, practically indestructible handheld radio ever made.Thanks to it's mass and metal cover you could physically neutralize like 50 people with it and dispatch the info to the station without problems

Hahaha well it looks certainly solid, kind of like the Nokia 3310 of the police radios I guess. Do you guys know when were portable radios began to be used in law enforcement?

Something that a lot of people will blame this kind of stuff of is extreme liberalism, while I don't like the idea of it, perhaps it could be a reason as to why kids think they can do whatever they want.
Extreme liberalism? ffs I will quote myself here...
The mere lack of discipline doesn't make you kill somebody, this kid has probably mental issues.

Indeed. There was some dude who began converting LA Noire vehicles like a year or so ago but apparently he didn't have the great idea to make the KBM so in short we are in a dead end, as other times.
-
That stepvan/truck in the third photo down would make one cool NYC-EMS truck if ever modeled!

LA Noire had an older International Metro KBM van. Some edits and maybe...

Well, if there was a bus driver mod there should be a mode where you couldn't drive slower than 50 mph, you know, like in that movie, The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down.
