Ground Vehicles
Road police vehicles in the United Kingdom are generally painted white or silver, although silver has become more common due to the perceived higher resale values after police use is finished. Vehicles are then usually marked with retroreflective livery on the sides and rear. These markings may take the form of a simple blue, yellow or red stripe down the side of the vehicle, or high-visibility battenburg markings (with blue and yellow the accepted Home Office colours for police use). Some carry slogans, the force crest and/or advertisements for police initiatives.
