Support vehicles? no marked callsigns

Seen 2 vehicles today which had no callsigns just wondering who they might be.

1. Brand new white commadore parked at RAC HQ front doors have big Police crest on it and up past the back doors is markings which include crimestoppers heading and number (livery bit like HWP) across the back bumper is the usual police candy with the 131444 number.

2. Big GMC Surburban with GDLB on top but no standard police livery. Couldn't make out the writing on the door but was something to do with kids (had cartoon stick figures of kids on it).

Any Ideas?

The first may have been a vehicle that came back from repair after damage, but not had signage redone???

I don't believe so, it was parked at the HQ carpark (obviously on business) and the livery on the vehicle was "sparklin new" plus I haven't seen a huge crest the size of a door as standard markings before :idea: I suspect its a PR car for the crimestoppers unit.

Anyway just a thought.
BTW, constable care sounds very plausible on the Surburban and although it was an earlier model still worth a few bob me tinks :wink:

The Surburban is the GURD vehicle.

It's an anti drug program for kids.
