Fast Response Car

[2] Originally restricted to team leader vehicles during the 1990s, all current FRCs carry a large array of equipment to allow officers to conduct normal policing duties and basic investigative work which officers are expected to perform with the implementation of the Neighbourhood Police Centre (NPC) system.

A typical FRC may therefore stock equipment for the force-opening of locked doors, conducting roadblocks, fingerprint collection, and the provision of first aid.

In 2020, the SPF unveiled a type of FRC, which consist of Hyundai Tucson SUVs, with a remote-controlled searchlight on the roof, sensors under the side view mirrors, and cameras all around the vehicle.

[4] These vehicles were retrofitted as a project by the Home Team Science and Technology Agency (HTX) in cooperation with the SPF,[4] known as the " Next-Generation Fast Response Car".

The project underwent several evaluations and in 2004 was re-introduced to the public as the new Enhanced Fast Response Vehicle (FRV), using modified Toyota Hilux twin-cab diesel pick up trucks, more suited for prolonged heavy use on the roads.
