National Police Computing and Material Service (Norway)

National Police Computing and Material Service (Norwegian: Politiets data- og materielltjeneste, PMDT) is an agency of the Norwegian Police Service which has the responsibility for information and communications technology, procurement, security and real estate. Subordinate to the National Police Directorate, it was established in 2004.

As of 2011 the police's new patrol cars are four-wheel drive Volkswagen Passat with automatic transmission. New transport cars are Mercedes-Benz Vito for light transport and Mercedes-Benz Sprinter for heavy transport. The police force operates two Eurocopter EC135 helicopters, which are based at Oslo Airport, Gardermoen. In addition, the Emergency Response Unit can use the Royal Norwegian Air Force's Bell 412 helicopters.

The police have two main types of uniforms, type I is used for personnel which primarily undertake indoor work, and type II is used for personnel which primarily undertakes outdoor service. Both types have summer and winter versions, and type I also has a dress uniform version. Both types use black as the dominant color with light blue shirts. Police officers are not armed with firearms during patrolling, but have weapons locked down in the patrol cars. Arming requires permission from the chief of police or someone designated by him. The police use Heckler & Koch MP5 submachine guns and Heckler & Koch P30 semi-automatic pistols. Specially-trained forces use Diemaco C8 assault rifles. Norwegian police officers do not use electroshock weapons.
