Spotted this on youtube, nice few stills of our armed Gardai.

This idea we have an unarmed police force is a sham. It about time we gave every member an opportunity to defend himself when confronted with lethal weapons.

Irish Government ex-ministerial Mercedes-Benz, dont see why they these are going to auction why they could be given to Gardai there already purchased and radioed up all that is needed are markings and there away, much cheaper option.

Strathclyde police have the best idea and quite possibly the best patrol car ive see
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/scotland/glasgow_and_west/8555079.stm

irish government: cost effective patrol car has to be a bargain and will eventually end up with massive mileage.

British Goverment: crime effective patrol car very expensive and reliable and will get the job done twice as fast and not an average family saloon. unlike the above.

I'll try to get a few more up later on (rushing about at the moment). Fine looking motor all the same (and just to note, they didn't ask me to blank the reg, I just thought the photo looked cleaner with it wiped).

EDIT:

One last one, just cos this popped into my head when I took it ;

(I've taken this down, for the moment).

I find the most unusual part of the car is that they (for cost cutting measures, presumably) got rid of the "Garda Confidential" writing above the phone number. Nice looking motor, though.

Thank you to the Garda who assisted me with getting these shots. Very much appreciated. Very nice man.

A car chase from the Garda series Traffic Blues.

The pursuit starts in Tallaght and goes on to Cookstown, m50 - South, Dundrum exit, Nutgrove, Firhouse Road and the Gardai finally end the chase near the Dublin mountains.

Commentary is not on this video if anybody can find it.

Bit of a different angle (except for fire fighters, of course!)

Looks like a Carmichael 6x4 conversion of a Range Rover.

They make 6x4 appliances out of Defenders too

Was mooching about the town and bumped into this. Rarely ever see it around, but it's apparently usually parked up outside/beside a church in the town (that I just rarely ever happen upon).

Nice looking car. Presumably the HSE have more money to spend on their fleet than AGS?

My first Garda escort:

Photo alone probably isn't much reason to make the post, but I just wanted to throw a bit of text in too, while I'm here (as I know a fair few members of the Emergency services around the country check this forum, and thread, out, occasionally, and a few of the Gardaí locally have made reference to my posts/pictures on here, so I'm guessing boards is somewhat popular with the emergency services in general).

This is one of those shameless-self-promotional posts that you hear about on TV but never think will happen in your own internet. :P

I'm going to be running a photography course in the new year, in Drogheda. It will be a series of five 90-minute classes, and it'll cost €50 (so works out at €10 per class). It'll be on every Wednesday from January the 23rd. It's a beginner's course.

Money from the course will be going to fund St. John Ambulance (Drogheda Division). So it's for a good cause and will hopefully be a practical and interesting course.

I just thought I'd put it up here incase anyone was interested (it strikes me as the kind of thing that could make for a decent side-gift if anyone's giving/getting a camera for Christmas). There's more information on it available on this thread, here:

http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056835116

As I say, I know this post isn't directly emergency vehicle related, but I just thought I'd take the chance to try and promote this and hopefully spread a little Christmas cheer. Much like these lovely Gardaí were doing, recently

If the mods feel it necessary, ye can feel free to delete this post (I'm aware it's not the usual type of reply that I'd have in here).

"New" Dennis Sabre and Rapier bought by Dublin Civil Defence to replace older fire engines (RS Dennis and Volvo) for the Auxiliary Fire Service in the Fire Brigade Training Centre, the OBI Marino

RE: The Silver Mondeo pics, the "Garda Confidential" for whatever reason was replaced with a phone logo on silver models but still present on the white ones, we have identical 2011 toyota avensis' one white one silver, identical except for the phone logo...
the strange thing to me is that its fitted with an ANPR camera, so was presumably an unmarked traffic car in its past life, but has been marked up with the single stripe to make it a "regular" car, unusual for traffic to let an expensive piece of kit like that get "wasted" on the regular...

Nothing like a bit of fog to liven things up a bit. (Just caught it passing by chance)
