Was wondering do any police forces still use the FFRR? Not seen any on my travels around the UK |

Not sure they could justify the price now a days could they? A D4 would do everything the Police would ask of a FF surely? And at less than half the cost!!! |

Not seen any for a while. They mostly seem to have BMW cars round here, 1 series, couple of X1s, some x3s and I was followed by an x5 just now..... There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

The Police could have RR's again if Landrover offered the correct spec vehicle at the right price to individual regions or nationally.

Yes, but the Hatos have D4s, and they are invariably at the scene of an accident pretty quickly coneing the motorway off. Surely they could clear stuff off with those....... Probably the risk assessment says NO!!! There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

I expect a lot of police cars are leased rather than bought, like just about every other fleet does these days.

Merseyside have a couple of normal defenders, saw one today, but also had some armoured ones like those in Northern Ireland. Not sure if they still have them. |

I think PSNI phased or are phasing them out in favour of newer ones, so some of the old ones got sold off to other forces. |
