Thanks for the pics mate. Any idea how many of these cars will be around? And i'm guessing they will mostly be based at the airport?

Thanks Dazla.

I personally prefer this scheme more so in fact than any other law enforcement agency in Aust, it's a real shame they are changing.

It was better when the APS and AFP were seperate identities, bit odd having APS fellas cruising around in fully marked AFP Police cars.

The APS seem to have a definate preference towards Fords!

The AFP is trying to improve its public profile across Australia, with the old markings allot of people confused the Protective Service cars for private security patrols and not an AFP pressence.

The AFP PS has responsibilites for all Diplomatic establishments around Perth, they have more than 10 cars that patrol various sites around the Metropolitan area.

I'd confuse that white one for a WAPol car... If I saw that coming toward me I'd be slowing down :) (not that I speed or anything... hehe)

I'm sure Danny's really nice... if I were to batter my eyelids and turn on my charm, he'll let me off :P
