what are the highway patrol call sighns
can anyone please tell me the call sighns for the newly formed highway patrol unit that patrols perths freeway system,from memory i think that there are 4 vechles and they have a silver paint job
Silver TE cars with rear spolier (fake SV6's)
TE202-VY II
TE203-VZ
TE204-VY II
TE205-VZ
TE206-VZ
TE212-VY II Although this vehicle is white
Their are a few more TE cars which are with the Breath Analysis section TE207, 209, 210 and 211 I have listed and these are in standard WAPS markings.
If your a member of oz-police-vehicles on yahoo Kyle and myself have posted heaps of these cars of recent.

What's with the cars having the dazzle paintjob? I would have thought TE cars would be best being unmarked, or at least, low profile.Tom wrote:Silver TE cars with rear spolier (fake SV6's)

when the minister for police announced the launch of this unit she explained that the main reason that the vechles were that colour and with the additional police markings on each vechle(with the exeption of 1 unmarked vechle) was to make their presence know on the freeways
As already stated by scottwa2468 the TE group have 1 unmarked.
It's a regular around the booze-buses amd I ALWAYS seem to see it with a car pulled over on the side of the road somewhere.
Anyway I think it's call-sign is TE201(?) it's a Martini coloured VY II with VX hub-caps, should be too hard to spot if you know what your looking for.
I posted a pic of it a couple of weeks back on the oz-police-vehicles site.
cheers

I doubt they'd be concerned with that here, as the Police vehicles are leased anyway..Steve wrote:Or, as is the case in the UK, a silver car fetches more at re-sale than a white one. Hence the trend for British police cars (which are often BMWs or Volvos) to be silver (or indeed many colours other than white).

not nesseserally steve,we dont know how much the police pay to lease each vechle
From my experience scanning the motoring sections and car-yards for many years now, a white car is ALWAYS worth less than say some of the more 'interesting' colours: green, silver, blues/greys and most certainly black attract far more than a white Commodore.
Just go to somewhere like Phoenix Holden and you'll see what I mean, better still go to the WA Police Auto Auction web-site and you'll very rarely see anything other than a white Commo, the coloured ones don't even seem to make it to Auction, they are that 'popular'.
