| ![]() I think thethe police vehicles need to be more sturdy than the accent and I think a Scorpio would be the best alternative.Sturdy build+god crdi engine.I wanted to suggest the safari first but it faces reliability problems and is not so fast.Thus i prefer the scorpio. |

| ![]() I stongly suspect that there will be a scramble amongst the senior police officers to grab the Accents and the junior guys who do the actual patrolling may end up with jeeps. |

| ![]() From what I have seen, senior policemen do not like to be conspicuous and allow people to mark them out and note their movements. The cars that they use for private/official use do not usually have any conspicuous symbols on the exterior. They also like to keep a low profile. I am sure the Chennai cops would have similar preferences. It is more likely to be misused by junior level officials and in that case too, if someone complains of reported misuse by a junior policeman of a vehicle meant for use on the job then he could be shafted. Why take such risks, policemen always opt for unmarked cars for personal use so that no one notices any use or misuse of the same. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() I noticed cops also like to patronise local businesses when picking their rides. So far, Maharashtra cops like to use the TRAX thats made there. Havent seen anyone else use it. Delhi police were the first to use the Gypsy. Have you guys noticed any such trends? |

| ![]() Has anyone seen cops use the tavera,dont know why this vehicle did not make the list of police vehicles here although vehicles like qualis,sumo,gypsy did make the cut. The NSG[prime minister's security] have sure given safari a lot of prime time spotlight on TV Last edited by rahul_intlad : 25th October 2006 at 19:51. |
