When I worked security, it was for a newer company, so they bought two standard used police cars and marked them clearly with the company logo (reflective). those lasted about 2 years, then we switched to a Hyundai Tucson for mobile patrol, with a civilian impala for our roaming supervisor that drove around to stationary accounts.

That's your opinion and your welcome to it no matter how incorrect you are. The only civilian patrol I have ever seen while living in Brooklyn have been the Shomrim Patrols.

I dont understand what NYPD Auxiluary are? Are they voluneer cops or "Reserve" officers like we have down here that are fully operational officers just that they dont get paid? or what the deal?

I forget what their legal status is, but they are volunteers, they do not carry guns, they can only make an arrest when directed by an actual police officer. They are really like security guards where they observe and report.

That should help. They are NYS Peace Officers.

Dont know why you would not carry a gun but okay i guess if i knew that the Auxilary police was on patrol and i was raping robbing murdering someone i would continue what i was doing knowing that the Auxilary police dont carry weapons besides a batton hand to hand skills and a radio. Down here we have the "Reserve officers" that are Texas Peace officers and have the exact same powers as a full time cop but they dont get paid that is the only difference. "and they are armed"

Saw this the other day at a local Dodge dealer. I never heard of Loss Prevention having a vehicle, let alone half marked (or marked) at all.
Its a Jeep Patroit belonging to Big Lots Loss Prevention

I used to work mall security and we had a 2000 S10, 2002 S10, and a 2006 Impala civi version. The S10s had amber Starbars with 2 360 strobes, alternating Takedowns, and allys. The Impala had an amber Star Interceptor with takedowns, allys, and an arrow stick. They have since replaced both the S10s with colorados. They both have amber Star interceptor bars set up the same as the S10s but with an added PA/Airhorn. Our security manager decided he wanted to go with graphics that mimicked the local sheriff's cars, but he got cheap and only did half the job and then stuck the ugly rainbow block logo of our parent company on the doors. Our in-house deputy had cleared the graphics with the sheriff before they were marked up.

Well, I almost forgot to snap a few pic's while working. But here's a 3/4 front and 3/4 rear shot of the GMC I drive for school. Cell Phone pic's. So not the best.

The Shomrim Society is fraternal orginization of Jewish NYPD Police Officers and civilian employees.
The Shomrim patrol is a NYC Hasidic civilian patrol that for all intents and purposes is an NYPD-endorsed vigilante group.

Dusty, thanks for posting that link.
Their Chief of Police is retired OSP. I went to a Bombs seminar last year where he was a speaker. He was telling us about the procedures and drills they do there on campus.

I've worked at several places as security. Unfortunately, I have no pictures (I'll have to see if I can dig up a few here and there).
All told, I have driven the following on patrol:
1996 Ford Ranger
2.5L I4/auto trans/2wd
SVP Aerostar 2000 halogen 44" lightbar - amber
Motorola Maxtrac 100 UHF mobile
Block lettering saying "Chesterfield Towne Center Security" on the doors.
2002 Jeep Liberty
I4/auto trans/2wd
Star Interceptor 36" strobe lightbar - amber
Star strobe decklight - amber
Motorola Maxtrac 100 UHF mobile
Simple logo graphic dress for the doors, and SECURITY on the back window.
1999 & 2000 Ford Explorers
4.0L V6/auto trans/2wd
Federal Signal Jetstream 47" halogen lightbar - amber/clear
Motorola CDM1250 UHF mobiles
Simon Security red/blue standard striping
2004 Honda CRV
i4/auto trans/fwd
Whelen Edge 9M 47" lightbar - amber
Motorola Maxtrac 300 UHF mobile
Simon Security blue standard striping
2003 Ford Explorer
4.0L V6/auto trans/4wd
Whelen Edge 9M 47" lightbar - amber
Regency Square Mall standard striping
2006 Ford Explorer
* This truck, I re-did the install
4.0L V6/auto trans/2wd
Whelen Edge 9M 47" lightbar - amber
Regency Square Mall V2.5 standard striping
Originally, this truck had a bone stock 9M 4-strobe with alleys and takedowns, crappy 6-switch FS SW300 with only 4 switches connected, and a single 360 degree strobe on the back of the roof. I axed the single strobe, put in Predator amber LED modules in the rear & rear side windows, and upped the 9M to have 6 strobes, 2 front LED panels, flashing takedowns, rear halogen flashers, and separate strobe/LED and halogen front/rear modes. I also built a rear storage cabinet to hold our medical bag, AED, sat phone, fire extinguisher, water can, and 200 foot 1-3/4" hi-rise pack and hydrant bag.

This stuff bothers me in any industry. Why spend all that money on stuff that is not needed (it's security, a 4 head bar is more than fine. the 360 beacon was perfect)? $400 could be used for a few new coats, or employee appreciation lunch, or who knows what else to bost moral for all employees in the security guard department. (The fire extinguisher and water can and first aid bag are fine) This goes on at my place of employment as well. We waste tens (if not hundreds) of thousands of dollars a year on stuff becasue people dont want to take 5 min to figure out a more cost effective way. Meanwhile no one gets raises, or new equipment. Same thing with municipalities, and even the Federal gov. Saving $100.00 and putting it in the general fund starts the mind set of more saving. Eventually that $100 will add up to a bonus for staff, or more money to put towards medical insurance so the deductables can be lowered.
I'm not bitching about security guards, I am just annoyed by the over all waste of money in all industries, in this economy, with so many poeple out of work, and those who are working are slaves to the wage. A security gurad makes $10.00 and hour but the company has tens of thousands of dollars to have cool cars and lights. Police and fire cant get paid decent wages, and have crappy health insurance. Hospitals and medical care charge insane prices, so even with insurance we cant afford to get treatment.

I don't work security anymore but my old company had a couple brand new Crown Victorias with Liberty lightbars. An old Crown Vic with an edge bar. A few Jeep Libertys with cheapy leds in the windshield and rear window. A couple Ford escapes with china led bars. A Ford ranger with just a mini-bar. And a couple misc vehicles I can't remember. All of the cars had VHF CDM-1250s for radios, and all the lights were amber.
Allow me to clarify. This was in 2006, so the economy was still doing OK. We all started at $12/hr with full benefits and a company-match 401K, so we couldn't complain there. We had very nice gear and uniforms, as well as tricked out patrol trucks and bikes (bicycles). The way I see it, if corporate wanted to pay for it, I'd install it for them. The satphone came about after Katrina, when all the cell networks crashed in the immediate area, so they did a big "what-if" exercise, and bought every mall in the portfolio (Taubman) a satphone. The AED was also facility-provided.
All-told, security waste is mostly due to the big corporate guys. They don't give you $1500 and say "buy a satphone", they just send you a satphone.
Now, don't get me wrong, I have worked for companies in the past where the managers have $250K houses, driving $40k BMW's (company issue) and wearing company-provided Armani suits, while the workers get the cheapest polyester uniforms they can find, with stock "security officer" badges, driving patrol trucks with 250K miles on them, and wearing coats that could double as toilet paper. Not the case with that one place.

ok i am going to set the record straight on this one
this is in crown heights brooklyn first of all. second this patrol has jews and non jews i would say 50 50, next this patrol has nothing and i will say it again nothing to do with shomrim.
in crown heights due to stupid dumb feuding, there are 2 patrols shomrim and shmira. This patrol is all about shmira and the cops way of keeping a eye on shmira. Shomrim refused to have any thing whats so ever to do with both shmira, and the nypd. Which is why they are currently person no grata with the nypd in crown heights.
they are 2 patrols that do primarily they same thing but because i have pure hatred they cant get along so there is 2 patrols
from my perspective shomrim gets all the silly stuff, like bosts, lockouts, suspicious persons, etc. Shmira gets the more legit calls, muggings burglary shoplifting etc.
thats all

When I worked for IPC international we had 2 Ford Escapes, one was a 2008 and one was a 2011.
The 2011 had the better equipment but still was not the best only because they were lease vehicles and we could only have what the site wanted us to have.
Sorry these are the only picture I have of on of the vehicles last year when we had a ton of snow
The new company I work for is in house and our patrol vehicle is a POS Nissan frontier that has seen way better days. It is in no way equipped with any lights. Just lists the shipyard name and security on the door. But hey this is an armed site and I get better pay and benefits. haha

I worked for IPC as well. Virginia Center Commons, Regency Square, Stony Point Fashion Park, and occasionally Fashion Centre at Pentagon City and MacArthur Center. IPC went with the Escapes back in 2004/2005. Before that, they bought Honda CR/V's for a tiny bit, along with Saturn Vues. Before that, 2Gen Ford Explorers.
It seems that after IPC lost the Simon nationwide contract, Simon Malls bought the Ford Escapes on their properties from IPC, likely at a steep discount. I see the same Ford Escapes at Ross Park Mall now with Valor, that I saw them driving with IPC International a couple years ago.
Totally unrelated, VCC had two Ford Explorers. 219 (reserve) and 220 (primary). Oddly enough, 220 had sparse equipment. A first aid kit, jumper cables, Code 3 Excalibur, CDM1250, and an SW200. 219, on the other hand, had an AED, first aid bag, road flares, barricades, bike rack, Federal Signal Jetstream, SW300, Maxtrac, hyrdant wrench, spanners, adapter, 250' of 1-3/4" hose and a combination nozzle, and was referred to as "The ESU truck".
