PX51 DDF This is a CNC Ford Focus. It has had a slight livery change to reflect the change over from UKAEAC to CNC. It now carries the CNC force badge on the front doors and the website address on the bonnet and rearmost side windows.



The rear view of the same Focus. Notice how the blue light bar has a directional spotlight sprouting from it. The light bar is also attached via the roof rails to avoid damaging the roof and therefore improving the car’s residual value. This example was photographed (with permission) at British Nuclear Fuel’s Sellafield site on the Cumbrian coast.

SW02 EWN A RMP 2003 Vauxhall Vectra. This Scottish-registered vehicle is one of a large fleet from Vauxhall’s special vehicle operations. Military police vehicles that are mainly used off-base tend to have civilian registrations and those mainly used on-base carry military registration plates (see cars below).



Similar Vectra’s were a common site in 2002 and 2003 as Vauxhall supplied many forces with 6-month demonstrators. This ‘police specification’ Vectra has some differences to the public version These include a strengthened roof, gaps for police radios in the dashboard and electro-magnetic shielding to help prevent interference with the internal comms.
