Yeti Police

[Big_Soft_Fluffy_Monster]

Greetings Fellow Yeti lovers!

I'm just back from a jaunt to the East of Hungary in Debrecen, and I stumbled across this. Having paid a visit to my Motherland I had just spent a few days relaxing in the spa city and I was catching a train home when I saw this opposite the railway station in a police compound.

Although no longer a commie nation, you still need to exercise caution around the police and military so I therefore broke 2 rules. I crossed the railway line tracks to get to the police compound. Oops! (My defence is I work on the UK railways and I know how to cross a railway line safely). I then sauntered into the compound like a lost tourist (even though I 'beszelek magyarul' speak Hungarian) and quickly whipped out my camera and snapped a quick pic for all you Yeti loving brethren here at home in the UK.

Happy St George's day everyone!

Nice IIRC HM Coastguard has placed an order for Yeti's. Not sure about any police here though.

Cambridgeshire police have just bought a whole load (entire dealer compound was full!) of these- they were being prepped at the dealer when I went in last monday. much better than the silly 10's the running around in at the moment!

If you don't mind would you pop back and get a few more shots from some different angles then please?

Yep, I saw them a few weeks ago, I guess (at least) some of them are in service by now:

Sensible choice I think.

Old thread but while down Cambridgeshire way over the last couple of days I spotted my first Yeti in UK Police markings on Tuesday and a Scout today on the way home.

Yes there's one based in or around Ely - often see it around, CR140 I think. It's been around at least 6 months, if not more, apparently on extended trial. Fairly suitable for the semi- and very rural area around here.

Hampshire police have some too

Found another one here......LOTS on Google :clap:

Whenever I see a police Yeti, I'm curious as to why the silhouette seems to look a bit different...apart from the obvious Battenburg police markings I mean. I think it's maybe because the added police wrapping is taken right up the C and D pillars (at least on the one I often see) and so breaks up the familiar/normal van-like Yeti silhouette.

I've just been out walking the dogs and have seen that our local constabulary have a 63 plate yeti on the Isle of Wight.
