Handsup! Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 I thought such a topic might not get many replies and might not be worthwhile, but it's interesting to see people's views on whether the Metropolitan Police should continue to use the Jam Sandwich livery or you prefer Battenburg? As seen above i think Jam Sandwich stands out somewhat better, i personally prefer it, it's a tad more intimidating, don't you think?

Guest Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Ah so that's what it means I think they should stick with the classic jam look maybe batten burg for trafic still tho:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wkboy714 Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 I think newer cars generally look better and more modern in battenberg livery, though I kinda like the charm of the old sandwich stripe. Also, I'm sure the Met doesn't cover Solihull's high street Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCadetForce Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Although I did love the Jam Sandwich, I feel that in adverse weather conditions the Battenburg really comes into effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred03 Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Jam sandwich, but that's probably because it looks more American. The other one kinda looks like a checkerboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

met police999 Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Batten burg unique livery's have had their moment and the batten burg is ten times more effective vissibilty wise it only changed when the met opened a poll on Facebook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FInn Rescue 12 Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 Jam looks good for the loco Pd and Batten burg for the highway because you would not see this in a loco town or city street. It would hell of a faster way to get Coffey ha ha ha!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Handsup! Posted December 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 I agree with FR12, Jam Sandwich is better and bolder in urban enviroments but reflective sticks out on motorways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
met police999 Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 I disagree with it being better in urban areas there was a statistic i saw from the met saying that majority of times when a police vehicle was involved in an accident with a civ its becuase the police were not visable (marked units) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Handsup! Posted December 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 I guess it's just an argument of whichever you think looks best and to back it up with stats :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youdotoo Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 I like the Jam Sandwich. However, I still prefer American Emergency Vehicles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CobraEmergency Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Saw the title and was like 'What!?'Then I realised. In my opinion:Jam Sandwich for general policing. (Area cars, SCO19, TSG...etc)Battenburg for roads policing. (Traffic cars, traffic bikes...etc)Current as it is basicaly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
