Tactical Vehicle Crime Unit


Tactical Vehicle Crime Unit is a unit set up as part of Greater Manchester Police's Road Policing Unit (RPU) to combat vehicle crime in the metropolitan county of Greater Manchester in North West England. The unit uses high powered, unmarked vehicles, including Subaru Impreza rally cars with hi- tech equipment including the ProVida camera system and audio/ visual warning systems.

The TVCU featured on the BBC One documentary "X Cars" in the 1990s and later "Car Wars" in 2006 and early 2007. The producer of X Cars later made a similar set of shows following Thames Valley Police's "Pro- Active Team", and, recently, an elite unit within Devon and Cornwall Constabulary in the Sky series Road Wars.
