West van appears to be upgrading to the new taurus.

I think they have only one unit for now, maybe its just for testing...

I saw a new corolla the other day with police lights in surrey. The lights were hidden like a regular ghost car. That was pretty unusual but what really threw me off as I was driving by was the officer wasn't wearing his typical uniform. He was wearing business casual attire.

You know that undercover officers often don't wear their uniforms right?

That would kind of defeat the purpose wouldnt it?

it's possible they are replacing the old ford fusions they've had for awhile with corollas? if they want anonymity there isn't a better car to do it with imo...

There are plenty of jurisdictions who use pretty civilian vehicles.

There are examples on RS, like that Hyundai (santa fe?) cop car that pulled people over on HWY1, or the impala that was pulling people over in surrey.

I was pulled over by West Vancouver police just before lions bay on the sea to sky, the cop was in a chevy silverado 2500 with a sled rack and N sign on the back.

Also seen them rolling around in a newish looking dodge ram 2500.
