These two views shows the Lincolnshire and South Yorkshire vehicles. There are no standard colours, schemes, liveries, vehicles or equipment carried. Each force decides what it needs or can afford. Some areas do not have such services and have to draft in neighbouring force's underwater search officers if they are needed. Inset: a close up of the side livery. |

This is the Underwater Search Unit for North Yorkshire Police, pictured in 2000. This ageing vehicle is more like a minibus than a van, and is used not just in the N.Yorks. county but also in neighbouring counties where such units are unavailable. The side-on view. |
