I agree. If they're gonna do it like that, do it more subtly on a SUV or a van, it looks ridiculous on a sedan.fireman616wfd said:looks like a retarded hearse... minus the ambulance crap and blue lights

For UFO EMS, I would guess...
Apart from saying "SBPD" instead of "POLICE" as the big text on the side I don't have a problem with it, although the "Street crimes" text should be smaller IMO.sbparkcop said:Here's our newly unveiled 2010 Chevy Impala's, dedicated to the new Street Crimes unit. There are only a few of these black & white's in the scheme seems a little "busy" to me. The emblem on the side is a falcon - why, I don't know. Sorry for the low quality.

It looks much better with the standard graphics on the other cars. But not as goofy as a brand new Impala with a huge, stupid StreetHawk on it.
sbparkcop said:All the city's marked units say "SBPD" on the side panel doors with "SOUTH BEND POLICE" underneath. They also have "POLICE" graphics on the rear trunk lid. Any specialty units in the city have their specific insignia on the C Post (I.E. - Honor Guard, Crime Scene Technician), with the exception of the newly formed Street Crimes division. They get to be extra special, I suppose.
They respond to breakdowns with an ambulance?resQyou said:The ADAC vehicle is Germany's AAA. They respond to vehicle breakdowns on the AutoBahn. I would want there vehicles to be lit up like a christmas tree, but when I was in Germany they ran very simple ambers on thier vehicles.
resQyou said:Thats a good question, they ran Mercedes Stationwagons when I was stationed there, and the more I look at it, it would seem to be something other than their "roving maintenance" type vehicles... But who knows, they could have branched out, but the hospitals used to rule the ambulance service in Germany...
nerdly_dood said:DC ambulances tend to only have the KKK-recommended lights - all halogen - with the proper flash pattern. Sure, it's effective, but I'd like to see them with a Model 14 in front.
Other ambulances have a different red and white paint job with a similar setup, but it's all LED except for a white halogen in front. It's got a different variable speed alternating pattern, though, with an extra pair of flashing red LEDs next to the taillights. Looks like they also contract out to American Medical Response.
Nope, the ONLY lights are the ones recommended in the GSA KKK specs, all halogen, and with the KKK recommended flash pattern.Wailer said:No light bar on this ambo?
I quite like the minimal setup, there IS such a thing as too many lights. I wouldn't mind seeing a Model 14 or Whelen RB6 in front though.pdk9 said:with ambulances like the DC bare minimum setup, i'm always annoyed b/c a lot of the big cities and hospital-based rigs (at least in NYC, where I'm from) have the money to add a little more lighting + i personally don't really find them effective and have thought that kkk ambulance standards have needed an update, with a lightbar [ideally], even if it's merely a 3 rotator bar, or at least some more surface mount lights to the front AND a surface mount light by the rear wheelwells for lower side warning to compliment the 2 lights up top)
