If you look at movies and photos of police cars in the news or papers. It always looks cool if its from another country. Well, they may have good police cars like BMW in Greece and Mercedes in Germany, Volvo in Italy.

Its not the model of the car or make, that I mean ours sucks. Why is it Philippine Police cars dont have a standard color, and why do they have to have the name of the city mayor?

In most countries they have a standard scheme for their cars, the US is a different story [since scheriff, state police and city police are different services], but if you look at the city police its all the same scheme.

Hope the PNP would adop a blue and white color, the door of the police cars will be white and the only thing differenet will be the logo of the command [SPD, EPD and etc] or city the cars are in.

The standard patrol cars bought by the PNP is the Toyota Corolla with some Innovas. They are painted in the white colors with blue stripes. These were distributed to different stations in very limited numbers.



Some other models are pick-ups with the back to back sitting arrangements.



You will find patrol cars of different brands because these were donated by the local governments and some NGOs, thus some of the names of these donors are printed. Sad reality is that once bought, maintenance is another thing. Donated units ends up on the scrap yards especially if the elected official donee has been replaced.

Donations answers some of the needs of the PNP and at times standardizations was not considered resulting to maintenance, parts and supplies nigthmare. Another example is the donated AK rifles in some LGUs. A welcome solution to the lack of firearms but would be a supplies problems if not taken cared of properly.

Supporting the PNP

San Juan cops beg to differ....

meron na bang safety feature tulad ng mga screen or fiber glass dividers between the cops and the back passenger seats sa mga police cars sa pinas?

di ba dapat merong standard equipment ang mga police cars sa pinas, aside from dividers, tulad narin ng front-dash mounted cameras for capturing evidence? they also need the computer laptops to check everyone's driver's license for the records, also for scanning license plates. ganun na nga ba ka-hitech sa pinas o hindi parin? nagtatanong lang. :armycheers:

Funds are even short for the basic equipments...

Supporting the PNP, For a better Police Service

RP to receive forensic equipment, with lots of help from friends

Gun donation gone wrong

With some giving their expert advice...

Horses for policemen

:armyroleyes:

Thanks saver!

So we're still in a sad state until now. Few good things are happening though.

I actually like the idea of organizing some mounted police.

I hope one day the PNP will create and organize the first mounted police or dragoons (Phil. National Mounted Police) to mainly patrol our streets and city parks. The mounted police can also be useful in anti-riot and other crowd control missions.

BTW, how's the 611 service there?

:patrioticpinoy:

The PNP also have these...


A Toyota Revo, Corolla and V-150


A Land Rover Defender and V-150

Fellows,


Ive seen this new AUV patrol car and it reminded me of the importance of something.

The label "PULIS" was really big. It almost covered half of the entire length of the car.

They used a "RED" reflectorized sticker, not just an ordinary paint for this.

The letters glow very brightly in the dark when struck by light.

I believe the PNP should consider it as a model.

I think they are doing it. Saw some Revos with those reflectors with the OPLAN Nightwatch written on them as well. I don't know about those donated units by some LGU's. Unit Commanders should implement it.

Glad that San Juna has nice cars... sana standard na yun. Buong PNP ha...

Philippine Constabulary Highway Patrol Car

http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=htt...l%3Den%26sa%3DG

This is a photo of the old CHPG ( Constabulary Highway Patrol Group).

It is reminiscent of the old highway brigands in uniform with a PC logo on the shoulder patch of their uniform plying on our national highways turning the latter into a goldmine of extortion. I hope it is already a history, or is it ? And I hate to hear it's getting worse in the new PNP.

Its a Ford Fairlane, 1960s - were there many of these in the CHPG sir TOPP?

Its a fairly powerful car - v8 powered and many muscle car collectors would be willing to restore a 1960 Ford Fairlane.

Yes, there were lots of them. I was still on the elementary school that we were excited to see these cars during town fiestas. They are called "TRAFFCON" before, a word not every driver want to hear during those days.

I think another muscle car followed this model. I'm not quite sure if it's the LTD with its long antennae sporting the same colors, the metallic red and gold/Khaki. The CHPG does seems to get chase cars during those days. Now you could see troopers manning traffic in their boots without even a motorcyle.

I'm not too sure, I think it was the Chevy that followed the Fairlane.

some do ride in stainless jeeps which kind of make them look like hoodlums :demon:

not to mention dilapilated tamaraw FXs

Yours? :drunk: Can't see any police markings.

Might be those used by plainclothes operatives.

Seems miserable to see those antiquited vehicles in the line of police cars nowadays.

yeah...right

If we only have funds we can buy these and rule the streets

Another old photo



I think San Juan also made used of the VW Beetle with some Sakbayans as well.

Since, it is often that police stations and jails are being attacked and ransacked by NPA rebels, the PNP should provide at least 2 Armoured Escort Vehicles to municipal police stations or in other strategic areas.

The AEVs are perfect for checkpoints and as vehicles for SWAT teams, the PNP RMG and the SAF units.

The PNP can talk with Steelcraft, the developer of the MX8-Barako and have it customized to their requirements.

Photo below is the MX8-1;



An improved version, the MX8-Barako II is now getting finishing touches. Do visit this thread from time to time.

New indigenous armoured vehicle

While these war type vehicles might be appropriate in todays peace and order environment, there should still be a balance to be considered between a menacing-look type and dignified-look vehicles to roll down the metropolis.

The police is the forefront of protecting people and the emissaries of peace. To make it look like soldiers of war during peacetime is quite awkward.

on a motorcycle trip with riders club from manila to davao, i took a shot of this PNP SWAT jeep on a refueling stop somewhere in leyte:



what type of jeep is this?

The idea is to deploy these AEVs in critical areas like in the provinces and cities vulnerable to attacks like Davao, Digos and Zamboanga and other municipalities where the PNP force is inadequate.

We may need to paint it white or the make it look less menacing.

Remember the attack on the Davao Penal facility that the NPA managed to ransack the armory there?

How about the frequent attacks on PNP posts in the countryside that got the NPAs taking away a cartload of high-powered weapons?

It is a fact that it is better to field sleek patrol cars in the urvan areas to give the cops a better image,.... but let's not ignore the reality going around in the other areas.

By the way, Makati City itself is not safe from robberies.

With these AEVs deployed in strategic POLICE sub-stations or SWAT outposts across Makati, the PNP can easily close in and neutralize the often heavily armed bank robbers.

I witnessed one bank robbery incident in Mandaluyong and saw PNP cars parking 100 meters away from the crime scene instead of penetrating the zone of action. The result? Banl robbers got away, two guards dead, bank building heavily damaged, cops didnt have the chance to see real action there. The robbery took around 10 minutes. Cops are just 3 minutes away in fact. SWAT is just as near. But noone from the cops came near until the robbers were gone. Why?

One of the cops seated in the passenger side of the Police FX patrol vehicle was obviously nervous. His face turned red. Not because he is mad and is fired up for the shooting engagement..... He just looked nervous and he wiped his sweat his face. I dont know why.

Nonetheless, it scenario is understandable. Remember that the robbers arent sissies. They are usually former soldeirs and cops who were dismissed from service due to some reasons. They know how to really shoot. And they are heavily armed. The real cops have valid reasons to consider.

The point there is that, to give the cops a winning advantage, they need a way to get into the scene without risking much of their lives.

The armoured vehicle is the answer.

AEVs in police service like the Barako or even the Simba is a good suggestion: But ,it must be deploy in the place like rebel infested areas like Quezon province or Mindanao, if we want this Combat vehicles(in police marking) to be deploy in Metropolis, It is for Emergency used only, if the AFP gave a number of simbas to PNP, The it must me assigned to the units of the PNP-SAF, RSAU, or SWAT teams. same goes to the Barako AEV.
