Equipment and Vehicles The RTCIPF uses typical police equipment, such as motor vehicles, radios and arrest equipment. Firearms Some, RTCIPF officers carry firearms. This is less usual in most UK and British Overseas Territories police services/forces, but in some territories it is more common practice. Vehicles Because of its proximity to the US, the RTCIPF uses more US-style police vehicles, such as the Ford Police Interceptor Utility, these vehicles are marked, have red & blue flashing lights, the 911 emergency number and the police motto. The tactical and marine units (see above) use armoured vehicles and boats respectively.
