Is Volvo getting back into the police car game?

For years the Volvo V70 in various guises was a mainstay of police car fleets across the U.K.

I've noticed lately that BMW appear to be the patrol car if choice - particularly here in Northumbria.

Last night I saw what looked like a Northumbria ARV based on the new V90.

66 plate with a K region identifier.

Is Volvo on its way back into police fleets?

I guess so. Come to think of it it I don't think it had the usual Northumbria 'Proud to Serve' type of mission statement written on it.

The forces BMW fleet all have London plates.

Thanks for that. It looks great in police livery.
