Retro-Look Black & White RCMP Cruisers

Twelve retro-look police cruisers that are fully functional vehicles will be stationed around the province. They were introduced to celebrate the RCMP’s 135th anniversary, which took place on May 23.

This vehicle is a fully functional Traffic Services police cruiser. It is equipped with the newest generation LED lighting, corner strobes and arrow bar. As the vehicle is operational, it is also equipped with the newest RADAR and a Digital “In-Car” camera system and Police Reporting Occurrence System (PROS) mobile terminal.
The vehicle is painted in the original paint scheme, which was used from the 1950s to 1973 when Commissioner William Leonard HIGGITT changed the paint scheme to “RCMP Blue and White” in celebration of the RCMP Centennial. The original colour was created by Canadian Industries Limited (CIL) and was called “RCMP Blue”.
“Retro” equipment includes the rotating roof light, “POLICE / STOP” fender light, black and white paint scheme and door decals.


Keep your eyes open if you're cruising through Canmore, and you might see the one that's stationed here. :-)

That sounds pretty cool, I hope I get to see one (passing by, not in the rear view mirror!)
