Introduction… Police vehicles of the future could be a key factor in ensuring frontline services are pre-served and how they will be able to perform the role of a mobile office, carry out new functions, and become less reliant on conventional fuel. Vauxhall has won a competition run by the Association of Chief Police Officers Intelligent Transport Systems (ACPO ITS) to demonstrate an electric vehicle that uses cutting-edge crime-fighting technology that could be introduced into active police service by 2015. TETRAtab and Goodmill helped by building the underlying platform for almost all of the technologies seen in the vehicle. An impression…

A showcase for new technology…
Vauxhall showcased the Ampera in police livery featuring the latest policing equipment on the Home Office’s Centre of Applied Science & Technology (CAST) stand at the Police & Security Conference. Complete with ANPR and facial recognition, as well as police processes, mapping, remote vehicle data management and forensic recovery, the vehicle shows what frontline policing for the next generation could be, built with technology available today. This isn’t to say police forces will be taking on Amperas by 2015, the technology can be adapted for any vehicle. However, the Ampera, given its unusual way of using electric power and the fact that it’s about to launch in the UK, is an ideal shop window.

A plug and play concept…
Vauxhall is a member of the One Box Consortium working with ACPO ITS, which provides a standardised specification to which all manufacturers and suppliers can adhere, allowing them to produce common wiring for equipment and connection points. This allows plug and play of electronics, reducing the time needed for equipping and decommissioning vehicles. Chief Superintendent Jim Hammond, of ACPO ITS, said: “We looked for how we can use new technology in police vehicles and started to look for a replacement for the instant data rec-order. "We were trying to create a standard technology platform as well as ways of driving down cost . "We hoped to create a lot of interest among vehicle manufacturers and Vauxhall produced this concept vehicle.”
