Hey i'm just curious, but what is the main make/model of car used by the WA Police? From the looks of that spreadsheet on this site, it looks likes mainly Holden Commodore. Is there a reason why they only really have Holden sedans......not that i'm complaining im a Holden fan......here in NSW tho we are lumped with mainly falcons. Especially since the new Holden has come out.
Regards,
Steve.

The bulk off the cars are VE Omegas and others as below
Also have toyota landcruisers, holden wagons, nissan patrols, VE SV6, Falcon XR6, falcon sedan, falcon utes with box on the back,holden rodeo with a cage on the back.
I cant think off anymore but the majority would be VE Omega both marked and unmarked.
I see in NSW & VIC the highway patrol love the VE ss

oh but they are... you can get done for DUI on a horse.....
Honda ST1100's are the bikes arent they? I have also seen a Honda ATV patrol the beaches...
Dont forget the Nissan Xtrails used for the speed camera operations and Holden Adventura if this is still used.

Since when are boots vehicles? Everything listed above is classed as a vehicle thanks buddy.
I haven't personally seen any 380's etc though they would be hard pressed for them since the announcement that they are no longer being produced. Same as the crewman. Not to mention they radically changed the model for the WRX.
