Vauxhall has scooped an order for 10 high-tech Astra patrol cars from Hertfordshire police.

The Astras will come equipped with the latest connected tablets to allow officers to work from their cars.

“We are delighted that Hertfordshire Constabulary is taking 10 Vauxhall Astras on trial and have placed an order to retro-fit 50 vehicles with this cutting-edge technology,” said Dick Ellam, Vauxhall’s special vehicles manager.

“Efficiency is a top priority for both the Government and Hertfordshire Constabulary and the investment made in these Vauxhalls will mean officers spend more time in the field fighting crime.”
