WAPol have used all manner of Make/Model/colour vehicles as unmarked cars for decades.

chaplian has an unmarked nissan xtrail. Leds front deck and rear mount. Probably an admin car or pcyc / jjt etc.

anyone seen and or know of the unmarked silver hilux with new varley pod? Pod is also grey/silver. My thouughts were for unsworn auxillary officers conveying prisoners...

Doesn't he have a VE commodore? Or does WAPOL have more than one Chaplin?

Ive seen a whole swag of unmarked cars recently. I saw a (forrester/territory/prado) with lights a-'blazin yesterday just before canning bridge, going northbound. Also saw an OLD (89-95) toyota landcruiser trayback with lights on the dash pull over a vehicle just before the 80 zone coming into perth northbound on the kwinana.

Had no idea there were so many different cars! Will it stop me from speeding? Probably not. Will it make me think twice though? Most definatly.

That sounds a little more sus to me, I didn't think Police/Government vehicles go over certain ages? Where the lights blue and red?

He is probably on about the 79 series landcruiser, which to this date are still in production with the old design.

Wapol has two chaplains... One has an x-trail the other has a camry...

yeah i'm pretty sure you're right. from my knowledge the unmarked hilux you're talking about is for auxillary for prisoner transport.

Photo taken a few weeks ago in Mandurah. A different vehicle but seeing the newspaper article reminded me of the photo I took.

Am I the only one that thought that was an antenna on the back and not a pole tie down?
