Local Police looking for someone to sponsor a car
Discussion
As reported in the Bucks Free Press, The local Police force to Pistonheads Towers are looking for people to sponsor a car for use by the Police. Sounds like the usual Panda car type duties (carrying cones around and ferrying cops to direct traffic when lights are out etc.) Wouldn't this be a great advertising tool for PH?

Businesses asked to sponsor police cars
By James Clements
BUSINESSES are being asked to help get police officers on the road.
Ten officers from Gerrards Cross Police Station have the use of three police cars, but officers say that is not enough.
Now the station is hoping businesses would be prepared to sponsor a police car.
Sgt Tim Cox, of Gerrards Cross Police, joked that he was not expecting a Mercedes 4x4 but a small car for everyday transport.
He said: "It would be a white vehicle with a police logo on the side and it would state which organisation or company had sponsored it. Something like a Vauxhall Corsa from Vauxhall leasing would cost about £1,400 a year and so that is the amount we are looking at."
"Sometimes one officer can give another officer a lift but that is not really practical."
The police at Beaconsfield station already have the use of a small white car and now Gerrards Cross police hope to have similar transport of their own.
The car would be used to help officers move around for day-to-day jobs and would not be used as a response vehicle with blue lights.
Any company which would be prepared to sponsor a car or to help with the cost should contact ...

Isn't that well known government embezelment programme called 'Council Tax' supposed to pay for Police cars? I could be wrong, as 'Road Fund Duty', or 'car tax' to you and I has nothing to do with the roads or transport funding and is another government funding initiative to help pay for the 'fight against global terrorism', no, no, sorry that was last week, this week it's called 'rid Iraq of weapons of mass distruction'. Ooops sorry, wrong again, that was yesterday. Today it's called 'Liberating the people of Iraq against an evil tyrant'.
Sorry, back to the Police car thing. Why do the Police need ANOTHER car? Why can't they use one of the cars that they leave for the day at motorway petrol stations to try to prevent drivers from doing a runner without paying for fuel or would that sound too much like making more efficient use of government resources?
