Standing on a platform in Dusseldorf main station the other day I was
surprised to see a diesel locomotive unit pass through with Polizei
emblazoned on it's side. Do German police have their own train engine ?
Whatever for ?

That reminds me of the advert for British Rail where they showed the
advantages of travelling by train rather than car, such as not having to
stop for a pee and not being pulled over by the police for speeding - they
showed one train, in police livery, overtaking another, with its two-tone
horn sounding like a police siren.

I wonder if the German equivalent of the BTP have any locos of their own?
