TPS to show new paint scheme for cruisers from Rye school

Toronto police are expected to reveal the new design for their cruisers Monday, a paint scheme created by Ryerson University’s RTA School of Media. Last year, police misfired with a plan approved by Chief Saunders to paint the cars in shades of gray. No one liked that and it was quickly shelved. Most Toronto police cars are white with blue and red stripes. That design has been around since the mid-80s. Before that, cruisers were in highly-visible chrome yellow. The decision to leave chrome yellow was related to the cost of the paint. Earlier this year, police spokesperson Meaghan Gray told City News that members of the public have said that easy recognition of cruisers is important to them. Here is the new colour scheme.
