EU59 HXS This a Ford Focus estate police car used by the MDP for general policing duties.

EU07 LKC This is a VW Crafter that has had bodywork added to the rear to make it into a MOD Police Operational Support Unit. The rear is used for equipment stowage.

The rear view of the capacious vehicle with rear roller door.

EU53 ZJK This is a Mercedes-Benz Vario van carrying simple Defence Police markings. Notice the forward-facing blue flashing lights and white scene-illuminating lights down the side.



The rear view, showing the beaver-tail lift to make it easier to roll in and out storage containers.

Here a MDP Volkswagen Sharan is joined by an NHS ambulance and cycle response unit at the scene of a major incident.

EU58 LLN This is a MDP Ford Mondeo. Decked out is full battenburg markings and yellow stripes down the bonnet, this car also has a range of blue flashing lights on the grille, wings and roof. This particular car was seen on television many times during 2009 as it escorted military funeral processions of soldiers killed in Afghanistan and Iraq through Wootton Bassett.

EU07 LMF The MoD use this VW Sharan for their duties in the London area.

EU54 TWC This Ford Focus carries the red-stripe livery of the MDP.

EU03 FHV This photograph shows an operational support unit of the MoD Police. Notice the additional lighting that has been added to the outside of the vehicle, including above the rear doors

EU56 JUE is a Nissan Pathfinder 4×4 MoD police car in full battenburg markings. Notice that it does not have any obvious crests on the car, just the ‘police’ wording.



The rear shot of the Nissan Patrol. Here you can see the very small force crests that have been placed on the rearmost side windows.

EO52 MDX is a Citroen Relay that is used by the MDP as a display unit. You can see that it has a large awning and disabled-friendly access. It is fitted out with blue lights around the edge of the roofline. The writing on the sides reads ‘Working to make the Defence Estate a Safer Place’.

N858 GBK is a MOD Police Tactica. It is a 7.5 ton, 6 cylinder, turbo charged, armoured vehicle. This type of vehicle is used at sites where atomic weapons are kept, however they have no offensive capability and are not fitted with weapons. Inset: the rear view of a similar Tactica.

YJ53 ENE This silver Nissan Terrano is fitted with three roof-rack mounted blue lights, as well as a telescopic white floodlight. There are also blue repeater lights in the front grille and it is decked out in blue and yellow battenburg markings.



The rear shot shows a very unusual feature: two different police force crests. This Terrano is operated by both North Yorkshire Police and the Ministry of Defence Police. Two important military installments are based in North Yorkshire (Menwith Hill and Fylingdales) so close collaboration between the forces is needed. Notice also that the spare tyre has been removed.

EO02 JUE This is a MoD police Mitsubishi Shogun 4×4.



The rear view.

EU53 ZJK This truck is a Mercedes with a beaver tail lift on the rear.

EU03 FHK In front of the large Mercedes truck is a Sprinter with riot grille. Notice the lack of a roof-mounted light bar. Individual blue lights around the periphery of the roof give emergency warning instead. Also notice the heavily tinted glass on the sides.



Inside the rear of the Mercedes are a number of seats and stowage compartments.
