| ![]() UP Police in Ghaziabad has recently started using new flashy Mahindra Scorpios. Would try to get a picture. Also one could see a flashy Delhi Traffic Police Pulsar on NH 24, complete with strobe lights and tall beacon. Much like the European counterparts police bikes. Also recently saw a Tata Safari on NH 24, with big POLICE lettering on the body. Not sure... which city or department. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Wow i think Mumbai cops deserve these Ertiga's but i wonder why they are not diesel versions ? I hope they run those on CNG. |

| ![]() Even Pune police has had these Ertiga's for about 6 months now. They are white colored petrol LXi's. Good to see Mumbai police getting these much deserved Ertiga's. They look smart as a police vehicle however could get some basic accessories like wheel caps. |

| ![]() Exactly, shouldn't they get diesel cars since these cars do a lot of running day in and day out (patrolling, transportation, attending to a situation, etc.) I have seen a lot of official government vehicles that are petrol and do have a lot of running, many in my neighborhood as well (favorites being the Honda City, Swift Dzire and SX4), all petrol. Shouldn't they be trying to save the tax payers money by using more economical modes of transportation? |

| ![]() Chandigarh Police has also been using Maruti Ertiga for past 6 months or so, albeit the base diesel version. Ertiga is planned to slowly phase out all the old Gypsy's as the new PCR(Police control room) vehicle here in Chandigarh. Although I must add, Gypsy looks far more butch in those red and blue stripes. |

Infractions: 0/1 (5) | ![]() Ertiga is good, no one will deny that for sure. But in my personal opinion, Police should get cars like Sumo and Bolero only for normal work. Those are very rough and tough vehicles and can take abuse easily. Also those are diesel and very powerful, can carry extra loads when needed. Just my take ![]() |

| ![]() Chandigarh too has the same LXi variants with ABS. It's been 6 months they have made Gypsy as the secondary vehicle for the outer sectors. |

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() Ghaziabad police have upped the ante, by far. Near the border, they are using Xenons with canopies. ![]() The car. Lesser said about the people in it, the better. |
