Hi,

Im just wondering what kind of cars your police use (undercover) around your area...
I've seen Focus ST, Astra and a old nova.
What have you seen?

I think the ones I know of are a Volvo S60 and a BMW X50. Given the stretch of Essex I see them they're pretty standard, blending in cars so they're ideal :P Not sure why they waste so much money on these cars, they're usually mid-range models too rather than the basic BMWs/Volvos.

Each force has a set budget which they can spend on whatever they like. Up here, we have marked T5's, BMW 530d's, X5's and a couple of Evo X's. Unmarked they tend to mainly be Astras and T5's, but there's a couple of Corsas too.

I know Yorkshire has Octavia VRS's and the like as unmarked cars

Strange, your marked cars are nicer and more expensive than the unmarked cars. Usually it's the other way round :P Essex naturally have a Ford army of marked police cars - the Focus as the main car, the Mondeo as the level above and the Transit for the van. The unmarked cars seem to be Volvos and BMWs here. In Kent they have Skoda as their make of choice for marked cars, and their unmarked cars seem to be Mercedes and BMWs.

The evo is undercover?

I believe we have the undercover range rovers as dog units & gun units and ford rs's as normal undercover units

I guess you need a view that are ready to chase someone? But it does seem a bit excessive getting jag's :P Still, I wouldn't moan as an officer haha

I forgot to mention the Astra's and Focuses as marked cars, as well as the Transit Connect, Transit and Sprinters! The police livery really suits the 5 series and they look awesome!

Nothing too exciting here, couple of marked BMW 530d's, but mostly boggo spec Astras. The unmarked ones are all Corsas and Astras aswell, but I have seen them in unmarked Volvos and stuff before. In Edinburgh they have an unmarked Audi S3

C.I.D are different to unmarked traffic police. CID refers to 'Criminal Investigation Department'
