New E-Rigs in service at Truck 4 and Truck 2. Truck 4 still has some decals and other minor adjustments pending. Truck 3 is having body work done to the cab after being struck while responding to a job.

NICE!!! They look REALLY sharp!! The front bumper looks really good too! (Also, very nice photo of T-2)

Now, all I need to see is a Yonkers ESU Heavy Tactical Rescue on an Mack chasis and I'll be all set!

[Oswegowind 17]

These trucks are also equipped with MDT's. Now the ESU guys can read the jobs themselves instead of bothering me. LOL!!!! They are nice though, I actually like the new box better than the old one.

Oh and for the ESU Big Rig, did someone say September?

Truck 4 I heard a rumor you guys are getting a Big E rig who is going to build it

[FirNaTine 370]

FDMV's old R1 may still be up for grabs. You guys should look into it.

[Truck4 48]

A new rig has been approved and is in the spec'ing stages. Looks like some time next year for delivery.

[RWC130 594]

I actully think its a shame we don't have anything like these in london, its all the kit in the back of a police transit or call out the brigade if they need anything major doing

Please, someone translate this for me...I don't speak fish and chips...just kidding Londoner!

[kevinrichardeaton 11]

be nice I'm new and might just cry

a transit is what i think is called a panelvan over there the police use them for carrying staff in riots and equipment

the brigade is one of the nicer nicknames for the london fire brigade

Thanks...I was gonna ask the wife, she worked at Homerton Hospital NHS for 3 years...

[kevinrichardeaton 11]

no worries

thinking about it following 7/7 the British Transport police did get some units a bit like the ESU truck I'll dig out some pics if anyones intrested

[Oswegowind 17]

always interested!!!!!

[kevinrichardeaton 11]

Met police Jankel Armoured unit used by CO19 Specialist firearms command (swat) and SO18 Aviation security operational command unit(airport swat)

Landrover defender 110 this is used in siege situations for cover (normally were shields aren't the right option)

I have a couple of other but don't seem to be able to upload them

[Oswegowind 17]

OMG Sweet Land Rover!!!! Mike do you think 851/850 will sign off on one for us????? We could use the 4WD for all of the dirt roads we have...LOL

[kevinrichardeaton 11]

Closest thing whe have to ESU here British Transport police (transit) BA units they were purchased following 7/7

another 110 most forces have something like this for siegework

Land rover used by couter terrorist branch for EOD work the met is the only civilian police service with its own EOD unit the others use military

[Oswegowind 17]

The two BTP vehicles with the rollups are also nice...I like the paint scheme too, I bet the 2 tone reflective helps with visibility when you are blocking off an intersection!!!!!! No one can ever say, "I didn't see you..."

[kevinrichardeaton 11]

you'd be surprised how stupid british criminals can be

Armed Response with 3 MP5 armed coppers crashed into by some div

[Truck4 48]

I'll be in London a week from Sunday. Seriously.

[kevinrichardeaton 11]

PM me wereabouts and I might buy you a beer

[Dr. Zuki 1]

And the YPD and others in the USA have picked up some nice vehicles through drug seizure and forfeiture laws.

Check out the next City of Yonkers auto auction for those vehicles being retired from police service.

Yonkers PD ESU has come a LONG way!

Great Cops!

I remember back in the days of the old Chevy Caprice "Boat" Station Wagons.

GOOD LUCK WITH THE NEW EQUIPMENT!

Well Deserved!

[kevinrichardeaton 11]

Nice website thanks for the link. Does anyone know why they call them appliances over there? Just something that I never understood.

[kevinrichardeaton 11]

In the US Fire Service, an appliance is any device that water flows thru. Since water flows thru the pump on the U.K. "pumps" that may be why the term "Appliance" is used.
