I always like this design the best, with the gold or silver arrow. However, I wonder how it would have looked with a blue arrow?
Why does the ISP always change their paint schemes their patrol cars come in? Here in Michigan, we have used pretty much the same blue design since 1956. Nonetheless, I do like the full light bars rather than the single bubble we use up here.

You mean this Blue Arrow on it? This is what all the NEW ISP cars will look like.
That single bubble light is the worse thing I have ever seen..They should give it up and get real light bars..

Those so called real light bars like strobes and LEDs are completly and totaly useless in the blowing snow of our U.P and the thick fog along the lakes.

Somewhere you have gotten bad information! Your buddy is pulling your leg or something.bigbluemsp said:
The ISP is indeed going to white cars. I have only seen one of the black cars with blue stripes. It was probably a test vehicle for the graphics vendor to test the layout. What the photo of this test vehicle doesn't show is the approximately 150 - 200 white crown vics sitting about 100 yards north of the location from which the photo was taken. Take the blue graphics package being circulated in the photo, put it on a white car, with the Whelen Liberty Bar, Whelen Talon LEDs, and whala... you have the new ISP commission.

He was told that by the person that runs the Fleet Garage for ISP. He said the white cars were the test cars and they were sticking with the Black ones.

I was watching a news report on traffic enforcement today and they were doing a live video from State Police HQ in Indianapolis. In the background you could see some white Crown Vics with blue stripes on the sides. So those must have been the test cars. I haven't seen any new cars (of either color) with the blue stripes out on the road yet.
BTW, many sheriff's cars have gone to a darker shade of brown in the past couple of years. State law mandated two tone brown but it is hard to tell now with the darker brown as the primary color.

Sellersburg ISP post has a white and blue car on the road.GTO_04 said:
The sheriff cars have gone to lighter brown to save money, no cost to re-paint in two-tone. At one time the sheriff's association talked about changing the color of cars to I believe white or something like it. The main reason was the cost of painting new vehicles.
But if you travel I-65 in District 45 you will see the new white car pulling over speeders.

Marion County Sheriff cars
Everyone in Marion County is going to have to remember that with the merger of IPD and MCSD to IMPD, the county brown and city white are going away and going to the silver/gray.
If I remember correctly, back in the 70's, ISP was white?

Until I think O'Bannon Admistration.. they were, what would that be mid 90's... They wanted to go back to black because I guess that was the orginial color of ISP cars.

That's what I remembered. ISP were white. I was gone from Indy from 1980 to 2000 in the Navy. Talk about things changing while I was gone. If I remember, they also had just a red bubble light. I think all of the LEO forces ran just red lights. Don't know when they switched to red/blue. Most if Marion County township fire departments were volunteers and they ran POV's with blue lights.

Anyone know why
ISP is going back to the white cars? This is what they had before the black.
The blue cars are Motor Carrier Units.
Seen 2 motorcycle units riding side by side in Clark County a couple weeks ago. Not sure what was up, as far as I know only 1 is assigned to Dist 45.
