So, when is it going to be about "racing" and not about speeding?

And this just in.............

This was the best thing that happened to. Moral instantly increased. A B&W is more visible as a white car blended in with so many others. Now a two tone car stands out amongst all vehicles, hence we are see more often than "blending" in. US tourists also immediately identify who we are with a two-tone car.

BTW OPP is not the only two tone cruiser either....Waterloo Regional, St. Thomas, LaSalle have started to switch to blue and white. Windsor PS is a combination black and white with their new graphics pattern.

The decision was also based on a Florida study into cruiser collisons, less collisions occurred with two-tone cars, cars with "barrier graphics" on the rear, and a silhoutted image at night from the side.

Why does the OPP have such large orders for unmarked cars

why are more and more unmarked cars being used for traffic enforcment?

Do tell about all this ordering??

We all know the people that mysteriously turn into angels when they see a marked unit and then return to their side after.

Our office most recently got our first unmarked police vehicle in about 2 years. It is a non-traditional police vehicle, and it is just like driving a normal vehicle, you see all the "down and dirty" offences that everyone seems to bitch about (ie follow too close, unsafe lane changes, fail to signal, passing off roadway etc..) where it was rare, if at all to see that type of stuff when operating a marked unit.

My point is that umarked cars aren't that visible. Police are most likely to be killed at the side of the road in a collision. Being that Police are most vunerable while parked at the side of a busy road, wouldn't it make sense to use a highly visible car?

But I thought you said painting the cars black & white was such a great idea of JF's. Something about making a stronger visual presence out on the road. But now you say stealth is better.. Now I'm all confused again
