Has been interesting to read the observations of members, thought I would add some I have seen over the past few months (some of these are from "The Force" and others I have seen around town):

Green Pajero
Blue Ford Mondeo Sedan
Hilux Ute
Unmarked "Troopy" Landcruiser
Commodore Wagon with mags and a mat placed over the dash lights and radar (I think it was TEG)
I heard an unconfirmed rumour that they have a Golf GTI which is targetting illegal street racers
Volkswagen Paseo (not sure about this one although it had the tell tale yellow parking exemption on the dash outside Curtin House)

All of these vehicles were sans the usual aerials farms, except the Commodore Wagon.

I have also noticed a new radar in the dash of the "downgraded" TEG cars, it is in the centre of the dash rectangular in shape (the old one looked like a coke can next to the driver). Anyone know what it is?

All the best

Saw unmarked dark brown ford territory this morning, with "cartoon" family sticker on rear window and also baby on board sign hanging up in rear window. Two officers, number plate partially seen, {REMOVED}. Railway Parade, Ashfield.
Knew it was unmarked, because they used lights to do uturn at stop sign, came back towards me, pulled off road again and then drove back the way they came, continuing to drive stop start along the way. very strange i thought.

Not sure if my bicycle strobe light caught their eye in rear view mirror hence original uturn.

but interesting car and markings.


ADMIN EDIT: It's WARSUG policy not to identify unmarked police cars with registration plate details, even partial ones.

This is a new one! Holden Colorado 'ute' no canopy 'flying' down Manning Road. Certainly an interesting site, had to look twice before pulling over
I've closed the door!

I've seen all sorts of unmarked vehicles recently being used by WAPOL -

Ford Focus - blue
Holden Astra - black
Subaru Impreza - black, silver, white
Volkswagen Golf - grey, white
Volkswagen Jetta - silver
Toyota Camry - blue
Toyota Aurion - white

They were usually only obvious as a police vehicle from the visible aerials, LED lights or "police on duty" card.

Interesting to see the break away from the traditional Falcons & Commodores.

Sorry for resurrecting an old thread. Spotted an unmarked White Dual Cab Hilux (looked like it was the model up from the 'WorkMate' Pack) driving priority down Stirling Highway this morning. Had slimline dash lights and also a rear parcel shelf deck light with the new blue led magnetic beacon on the roof. Caught me off guard.

Today in Freo I saw forensics using a Renault Koleos, not what I expected to see.

Saw 2 police standing on ladders inspecting inside the red light camera box at Leach & Bungaree this morning. They had an unmarked white VE wagon parked around the corner. Had red/blue dash/deck LED's front & rear aswell as 2 x amber LED mini bars (Magnetic) on the roof. All lights were activated. Unusual to see these 3 colours going all at once!
