context_page_description: Devon and Cornwall Police is the territorial police force responsible for policing the counties of Devon and Cornwall, including the unitary authority areas of Plymouth, Torbay and the Isles of Scilly.
  The geographical area covered is the largest for any police force in England, and the fourth largest in the United Kingdom. The total resident population of the force area is approximately 1.5 million, with around 11 million visitors annually.
  The force was formed on 1 April 1967 by the amalgamation of the Devon and Exeter Police, Cornwall County Constabulary and Plymouth City Police, these three constabularies were an amalgamation of 23 city and borough police forces that were absorbed between 1856 and 1947.
context_section_description: Devon and Cornwall Police use many different makes of vehicles from several different car manufacturers for different purposes. The most common patrol vehicles are the Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra. All marked, operational vehicles use yellow and blue retro-reflective battenberg markings, with the force's crest. The older 'jam sandwich' style markings were phased out between 2000 and 2005.
