“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”

All those who bagged em…..The vision is achieved!

Forget Hummers, if the Vic Police want to get noticed, put 3 cops on mopeds towing signs that say ‘Police’ on them.

What a SAD joke!!
I thought the cops were whingeing about lack of money, yet they buy this flashw*nk pieces of crap!! The Police Land cruisers and Patrols have much better off-road ability, but offcourse this fuel guzzler is aimed strictly at the streets!! Why not just stick to the Rodeos/Colorados this H3 shares it’s platform with!!

First up: The H3’s asthmatic 5 cyl engine uses less fuel than a SS commodore.

THAT said, I hope they don’t get in a chase as they would be better getting out and running.

I think it’s worth a shot especially as GM is stumping them up for free.

IF they really want to clean up, then drive past QBH on a Friday night really late on the footpath and half the problem will be all over the bumper.

I agree that its better if there are more Police on patrol with a 0 tolerance attitude, better yet we need to clamp down on alcoholism which is driving violence up and up especially in the CBD, and when your pretty much wasted, a cop, bouncer or just some guy look no different.

Anything that helps to lift the police profile is a good idea. In the past Victoria police have used a 300C, HSV coupe and MX-5 for verious other promotions, all of which have had a positive effect and were supplied by the relevent manufacturers. This is only a soft approach, more cops on the beat would be the better option as well as restricting some liqour licenses, however I reckon it would be rather intinidating rolling around the CBD with these things prowling around everywhere. They’d better make them look tough!

As for the comments regarding high speed chases – I think you’ll find the Hummers would be excluded from taking part, in the same way other SUV’s and divisional vans are.

What them fools need is some Mo F*cking Bling. That’ll make sure they’re seen.

But seriously
Instead of loaning Hummers GM should loan out a couple of trans-ams painted black with a red light on the bonnet.

Wow this is a great idea. But why stop at Hummers? If you really want to be seen lets get police tanks. Might not help on the high speed chase so lets modify them with NOS. Suddenly i dont feel like going out for a drink anymore.
