@sympatico.ca | Around Ottawa, the cops out on 17 even use an undercover type dark coloured van.
I thought that was kinda neat. But wondered how it would ever outrun someone on the highway. | |

Something like SWAT down south. I've seen them myself in full combat fatigues and Velcro strapped automatic handguns on the leg. I was picking them up chatting back and forth on my scanner but they were big time encrypted. | |

Cool, I did personally see them on the 401 at a service area. I didn't know what their official names were but now I do. You could see the confidence in their eyes and that they knew their jobs.

| Re: Built in Brampton: Dodge Charger Police Versio There's no way you saw JTF2, especially at a service area. Their the most top secret Canadian task force, all of their identities are top secret, and you say you saw them walking around in a service area without head gear...HA! What you saw was probably just the ETF (Emergency Task Force) their the equivalent of SWAT in the States. -- The truth is out there... | |

| It's amazing how you know what I saw. Do you know also where along the 401 I saw them too. They were a stones throw from the Lansdowne crossing(terrorist central). I might not have known what their name was but I know how they were dressed. I definitely remember the knee and elbow pads. The 9mm handguns strapped to their legs and pocket covered uniforms. It was winter yet they weren't wearing jackets and you could easily tell they were wearing bullet proof vests under their cloths. The picture I posted closely resembles what I saw. | |

Coincidence there is a tim hortons inside? 
P.S. Peel/OPP ETF wear exactly what you described. Black or navy uniform (can't tell) with the same colour of badge on the side so it blends right in. Guns everywhere. *shrug*. -- Hail to the Nipple-Titan. | |

I've seen upwards of 4-5 OPP cruisers at the eastbound Dutton service centre sometimes.
Speaking of stealthy police vehicles I was down in Windsor this weekend and saw a new black Chevy Silverado SS that was lit up like a Christmas tree! It had someone pulled over on the EC Row expressway.
Told my dad about it (he works for WPS) and he said yeah, they just took delivery of that "ghost" car last week. -- "It's all coming down!!" - Mike Holmes | |

Fake JTF2 Memorabilia for Sale on EBAY Josh Pringle Sunday, March 27, 2005
The Canadian Forces has declared war on those selling fake Joint Task Force 2 memorabilia on EBAY.
A spokesperson says fake crests in full colour, identification tabs for uniforms and rank badges with the JTF-2 emblem have been selling on the internet auction site over the last few months. The patches are being sold for 20 dollars US.
For security reasons, members of the elite commando unit do not wear any identifying insignia for the JTF-2. | |

No it was a van that I had seen. The only way I knew it was a police vehicle were the flashing headlights and the little flashing lights up in the dash.
