NK61 CHX A Yamaha FJR that is with Durham Constabulary. Notice the large Durham crest on the front of the bike, and the smaller crests of Durham and Cleveland on the side of the bike.



A closer look at the dual crests indicating that the roads policing teams of these two neighbouring forces work jointly. Slightly older bikes carrying 60-registrations do not have the dual crests.

This is an unregistered brand new BMW 530 that is being prepared for service. It is only carrying a partial livery at this stage.



On the nearside, more of the livery has been applied over the top of the battenburg markings. The rear chevrons are yet to be added.



A closer look at the side that shows this roads policing vehicle is jointly operated by Durham and Cleveland forces. This stems from an agreement started in April 2011 which sees the two forces working collaboratively in many areas.

The rear view showing the retractable canopy and unusual screen over the rear window.



The screen folds down and is actually a bike carrier. This is a standard VW accessory for the Transporter and can accommodate four bikes on the four rails.

YJ61 FVA A 2012 BMW 330D in Authorities specification. This three-litre roads policing vehicle is used by North Yorkshire Police as part of the ANPR Intercept Team.



Another look at the car. The overt ‘intercept team’ graphics are intended to scare evading drivers into pulling over.



A look at the car from the rear.
