Here are pics of the new Victoria police hummer

what a P.O.S

Whats the point? I can kinda understand an undercover hummer but what possibly can a hummer do that the current territory cant?

H3's are gay full stop

saw 6 of these screaming up past the casino when I was down in Melbourne for Sensation... I nearly fell over everyone was WTF.

shitboxes really but if the cops like that bling then good for them

They're designed for use in the 'Safe Streets' CBD policing initiative. They're designed to stand out and increase the visible police presence as part of curbing the weekend alcohol related violence. Or as per the comments by the Assistant Commissioner;

“The idea of going to the Hummers is that it’s about trying to measure visible impact so we’ve got to try to introduce something which might look different to our current fleet of vehicles. We want to be visibly seen and we want to make sure the police out on the streets are recognisable and that we do reassure the public that we’re there.” Asst Commissioner Gary Jamieson said

They're on loan from GM anyway, so what can they do that Territories can't? Be free.



ROCK ON

Valid point Rookie but i doubt all the fuel they go through is "on loan". I'm no Greenpeace warrior but a hummer because they want to "Stand out" Smart cars stand out don't they? Probably go faster than hummers too...

With all those pretty stickers and flashing lights they should be selling ice creams

so lebbos think the cops are fully sick and dont bottle them

Reading the stats on them, they're not that bad on fuel, especially in comparison to other 4WDs. Don't forget they're only a 5 cylinder. Regardless, $250k offset makes a difference.

And when you can figure out how to fit five officers and gear into a Smart car, let me know.

Thats why the call them the "smart" car.. they are amazing

Fair enough but i really don't think these cars will give police the image that they really want.

I know the fuel economy of a H3 is actually not that bad in comparison.. but only know that from research.

The stereotype is that hummers guzzle and when the general public see these things in the city they are not going to think "Oh wow that really stands out i'm sure no one would be breaking the law now" they are going to go with the whole "What a waste of taxpayers money"

Keeping in mind of course that the majority of people seeing them are going to be plastered.

Ultimately all they want is for people to know they're there as part of the attempt to reduce alcohol-fueled violence on weekend nights.

ROCK ON

just needs some chromies on it
IMO the hummer would be much more suited to undercover

WASTE OF TAX PAYERS MONEY!

some of the replies on here are good as gold hahaha,

our local cops have a black unmarked hummer. new cop trend?

hahahah i want these on the goldy and bondi and see how they fair 2 the landcruisers and rodeos on tha sand

they are so god dam ugly

hahaha it looks ridiculus what a peice of shit i hate H3's so when you then turn it into a cop car its REALLY gay

lol.. complete an utter waste of everyones friggin money..

the front pic looks good but damn those stickers look dodgy lmfao

i wish the undercover hummer that pulled me over had these gay stickers on it so i knew it was a cop

good luck filling up every 2 hours those things are fucked on petty.

Not a bad idea, if in fact they do prove 'free' long term. Not a ruse to create a fleet in the near future.

it looks like a fuking raceing car lol

exactly just a waste of tax dollaz

I dont understand the topic of this picture, are we looking at the big white bus with a name called (DRUGS)?
