[AI GENERIC] Law enforcement cars update

#1 Post by Kraake » 12 Feb 2021 09:20

With gradual updates of our maps we would like to update our police skins (paint scheme look) as well.

We would like to know if is necessary to update some police cars for each of our already released countries in ETS2.
  • Please, keep in mind we are interested specially in the TRAFFIC POLICE cars, as there are some diferrences between the regular police & traffic police cars.
  • We know there are usually different car brands in each state/country - we do not need them all, but the major one.
  • In case some state or city changed supplier (changed the brand) let us know! Manufacturer & model year info would be great!
  • We are interested in the STATE POLICE (traffic) car and int the CAPITAL CITY POLICE CAR (traffic dept. if applicable).
  • In case you can provide us images from front, boths sides & back (details of stickers, logos & beacon light patterns are useful too) - you will make us more than happy.
  • HERE is some little overview of what we currently have in the game.

Thank you very much in advance, in case you are gonna contribute!

Nice!

For the Netherlands we use this for the highway police (Landelijke Eenheid in Dutch):

Audi and Volvo:
https://www.hulpverleningsforum.nl/inde ... c=2583.590

For the city mostly Mercedes:

U see the Blue/Red striping on the cars are on the newer models more deep red and blue and wider.
This is the new striping so not use the small ones.

Here a video from the Politie Audi A6:

Hello ! This is very good thread because I want to point out that the official Romanian Police cars livery got changed completely from the old scheme in 2020. They now look like this:

Dacia Logan

Dacia Duster:

Edit: I added a video with Police cars for more angles and for beacons and lights in action:

BTW please remove the Dacia Sandero as police car, we don't have and we never had Sandero Police cars. We only have Dacia Logan, Dacia Duster and some VW Polo.
I recomend to use:
-2017 model Dacia Duster https://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dacia_Dus ... rt_1.6.jpg
-2016 model Dacia Logan Sedan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dacia_Log ... celift.jpg

As an addition the post by Dirk221 above. I love the fact you're thinking about these details. Would like to provide some more info:
Some images from all the sides:

Highway police in the Netherlands mostly uses the Audi a6 Avant with the new type of decals:

The sides have the markings in a different order:

In the Netherlands all emergency vehicles have the same striping, with white vehicles for police, red trucks for the fire brigade and yellow vans as ambulances. In recent years the striping on al emergency vehicles has been slightly ajdusted with wider stripes for better visabiliy.

Police - Regular surveillance vehicle:
Mercedes B-class 220 D
[ external image ]
Dutch national police uses this Mercedes as their main emergency vehicle. It is used both in cities and on the highways. The Mercedes is slowly replacing the older VW Touran's.

This post on Twitter shows it form different angles

It looks like the first "new" model B-class is getting delivered as well:

Police - High speed intervention vehicle:
Audi A6 3.0 TDI Avant Quattro S-tronic.
[ external image ]
These are used for Police tasks where high speed could be nescessary. So they can be seen on the highway quite a lot. The Audi's are the replacement for older Volvo's that are retiring.

Road authority (Rijkswaterstaat):
Not included in the game yet, but you could consider also having "Rijkswaterstaat" vehicles in game. Their road-inspectors are often first on scene when there are incidents on highways. And they take over security of incidents from the police when they arrive.

Their newest cars are Toyota Hilux. On these striping has changed to a better visable blue.

(Dirk221 and BKDBEM4 beat me while i was composing this post).
Edit: Fire and ambulance have their own topics, so i removed them here

That's a tough one for Switzerland. There is a huge variety of car models and skins as each municipality has their own police force and there is also cantonal police for each of the 26 cantons.

However, IMHO a must have and most typical in Zurich are the VW T5 and T6 of Stadtpolizei Zürich.
They are not technically traffic police (the current BMW model in the game seems appropriate) and not technically capital city police, but Zurich is the population and economic capital and this model is by far the most common sight in Zurich. It's very rare to spot actual traffic police in the city, so I believe it's justified for the VW Transporter to be represented in the game.

This is the newest skin with reflective markers along the red band:

In addition to Fenway, more and more Rijkswaterstaat (Governmental Water Management in English, though they also manage infrastructure.) have blue flashing lights, just like the police. This is done because they are responsible for the safety on the Dutch highways. With these lights, they can arrive faster at the accident also by using the emergency lane. Rijkswaterstaat controls the traffic flow and supports the emergency services by closing roadways when nessecary. It isn't always the case that when Rijkswaterstaat manages an accident, the police will arrive too, though when the accident features injuries, fires or when it's a large accident, the police will arrive. Even though it's the traffic police's task to surveillance the highways and secundary roads, urban police isn't rarely seen at highway accidents too, perhaps just because of capacity.
