RCMP Chevy

Too many lights! Jeez. (At least it's got the CALITASTIC steady red lol)
 
Far too many lights on the front and rear. Could lose the headliner and then the 700's in the grille. On the back, you can lose everything in the back window...


I do like the solid red to the front though. Represent CA
 
And then in Province's like Manitoba and Alberta, all you have on a RCMP truck is a Code 3 halogen rotator bar, 4 strobes and a HLF. If that. BC vehicles are absolutely loaded with equipment. You'll pretty much only see the bare basics everywhere else.

Fedsig LED Legend bars and rear ILS w/traffic director are standard now... you'll gradually see the Code 3 Halogen bar phased out.

The photos give a better idea of the equipment on this vehicle:

There is also a video on youtube:


I'm surprised no one has commented on the synchronization of all the secondary warning excluding the slimlighters...
 
For the truck, what are those two individual red/blue lights beneath the TIR6 T/A?


EDIT: Disregard that, found out they're M4's. :)

No such thing as a SSV or PPV Silverado.

Looks good though! I thought the RCMP was going to black & white?

They have 6 "retro" vehicles in most divisions... but they refuse to go back to all black and white for some reason... I'll never know why, black and white is about 800x better than the fruity rainbow we have going on.

I think it lacks reflective markings.

Is this reflective enough? ;)

When I think of the all black with white front doors scheme, I think of the 1969 - 1972 Dodge Polaras, Plymouth Furies, and Ford Galaxies that I saw when I was a kid. The cars had the RCMP 'shield' decals on the front doors, an early Federal Beacon Ray model 17 beacon on the roof, a red stop light and a Federal SA24 speaker on the passenger's side fender, and a Federal PA15A series 1D electronic siren with the low-pitched wail and yelp tones. And when the cars ran code 3 the siren was usually set to 'yelp'.
