Land Rover 110" M49 JRY Armoured Police
M49 JRY : Land Rover Defender 110-inch Armoured Police Hard Top.
As part of Government policy in the early 1990s, each Police Force was required to have at least one armoured vehicle in case of riots.
This Land Rover was the vehicle chosen by the Leicestershire Police Force - acquired new and not a 'hand-me-down' from somewhere else.
Having had virtually no use for many years - usually only being moved for its annual service - it has been 'adopted' by their Rural Policing Team to give them an off-road capability.
