A walk-around and review and information on a City of London Police Volvo, by former West Yorkshire Police Interceptor (from the TV show) Ben Pearson. Fairly interesting, especially the light setups.

Wasn't entirely sure where to put this, but it cropped up on my recommended feed. Fascinating look into the vehicles used by the Royal Air Force over the decades, alongside some civilian appliances.

https://mountaineagle.com/stories/longtime-sumiton-fireman-rickey-lee-woods-dies-at-69,29077 Words simply cannot describe this man enough. I worked for the City (Jail/Dispatch) in 2013 alongside him, many times Rickey would be the first one to the Fire Dept for medical calls, I never heard him...

Figured you lot would like this, note the steady burn blue on some of the Police vehicles - this proves to Traffic cameras the vehicle was on an assignment/call, so if they go through red lights or speed cameras etc Also, some genius in the comments said they should have taken the Oxygen out...

So, I got bored and thus JazzDad decided to ask me about "Gritter lorries" (the sort that put salt on the roads) and this gave me the idea of a thread regarding various Highway Maintenance and Road vehicles. - This thing is pretty slick. (Yes, I think that IS an extended crash bumper on the...

So this is a fairly new series airing over here in the UK. Follows Cheshire Police's vehicle workshop/garage. Gives a pretty good insight into what goes on around the vehicular side of Police as well as dealing with budgeting and equipment

I think I'll just leave this here... (Back bacon is best)

Yes that's right, it's VERY Old Top Gear, doing a quick segment on Police vehicles.

So, I'm part of the UK version of Cop Humour and Emergency Service humour, they just had this posted up. Anyone up for getting in touch with the chap and helping potential meetings? https://www.facebook.com/EmergencyServicesHumour/posts/1945020592438118

I don't what they're transporting by my god is that thing huge. Also, lots of lovely lights to look at.

Back when our Government wasn't spending it's money on 4th houses for it's leaders and surveys on how to most expensively fix a road that isn't broken, they did useful things like this!

Best of both worlds! Interesting lightbar pattern....looks a bit odd

Doubtless as many of you have now heard of the incident that happened in London, it is with deep sadness that the Police Officer who attempted to stop the attacker, and was subsequently stabbed, has died of his wounds. The ever thin blue line, once again gets thinner. :( Sourced from the Met...

So, trawling through the internet of a day I came across this little site that gives a brief, yet fairly in depth history of Motorway Policing and it's vehicles in the UK. (Read, highway patrol) It has some pretty awesome looking vehicles and blinkies in them, and is genuinely quite...

Right, finally got round to getting this up. Owing to Immigration based "fun" I have to get rid of my collection and require funds. Please know that should you buy this bundle you will in fact be helping me out massively, as I return home to the UK. ALL PRODUCTS SOLD AS IS. Sirens: Federal...

Since a number of you guys have shown a lot of interest in some of the Road Wars, series I posted a week ago. Here are some other great UK police shows available on YouTube

Came across this earlier, thought it was a very interesting video. Officer handled that perfectly I think.

So I thought it high time to introduce the ultimate ELB video based thread, where people post videos of Unmarked Fire/EMS/Police vehicles that they like, don't like, question the general idea behind them and generally have a laugh about the whole thing. Discuss below anything you like, don't...

No, not Garza. I have been having a nightmare of a bad time recently, and things got only ever increasingly bad and frustrating yesterday when the US Immigration Services deposited a letter into my postbox detailing their intent to deny my petition to become a 10 year green card holder, and...

Right, this one will stump you lot. I am currently looking for several wiring harnesses for my siren collection, that is being returned to me after my relocation to AL from WA. I require wiring harnesses for the follow siren models: Whelen 295HFSA1 FS PA-100 FS PA-170 Code 3 model 3632H...

Billforbush took up my offer of a bundle of Whelen Edge parts and a Speaker. Prompt communication, fast pick up (thanks to Mike) and even a little something unexpected on the side for me. Would highly recommend Billforbush to anyone!

ALL ITEMS HAVE BEEN SOLD/PICKED UP.

Wasn't really sure where to put this, but I got linked to this earlier, and it hit a bit close to home. https://www.facebook.com/wendy.colvert.5 Quote from webpage *****Missing from Parrish, Alabama***** Kelli Carr, 17 years old, approx 125lbs, 5'3, green eyes, blonde hair with highlights...

So, as some of you know, I've started to expand my siren collection quite rapidly as of late. Here's what I have so far. Pictured: Whelen 295HFSA1 Federal Signal Siracom II Federal Signal PA-100 Federal Signal PA-170 Code 3 V-Con II Code 3 Model 3632H Stirling Automotive Tri-Sound Not...

Found this photo the other day, this is the hood/bonnet of the Brush truck come Humvee at the Volly FD in my old AL town. No, I don't know what it means either.  But I do know that the Humvee was leased to the PD, and they allowed the FD to use it.

This was a bit too close to home for me (lived 25 miles outside B'ham). :( http://blog.al.com/spotnews/2014/05/slain_birmingham_police_office.html

So, I bought this off a collector/seller on Facebook for the bargain price of 25 GBP. According to him, this was in an old Rover Traffic Car, in service with the Metropolitan Police sometime in the 80s/90s. It was then removed and placed into a Royal Air Force fire vehicle (one of those weird...

Because you can never get enough vintage things. I'm pretty sure we didn't start a thread on this so here goes. To start. The Brits;

Several vehicles from H.M coastguard in Britain. Always loved the colour scheme of H.M Coastguard, Interesting flash pattern setups too. Peugeot 308 Generic photos;

I was happily given permission, by my Asst Chief, to visit the City's vehicle scrapyard/storage area today. In the hope of getting parts for my Edge 9M frame. This is the somewhat sorry sight that greeted me..... I did manage to salvage an Edge 9000 from one of the vehicles, which...
