I've never heard of the number of points meaning anything. Our city police have 7 points.



best of luck with your project!

I do not know if this post will work but here is my first try. I have converted a 31 coupe to a sheriffs patrol car. The easy part was the spotlite and siren. Pretty much available out there. The hard part, so far is getting red lenses for the fog lites and the cowl lites. As far as the signage goes i just made up a logo and had it painted on magnetic backers so they come off easy to have car stock again. I used a five star within a circle with the lettering on the outside, hope this helps and the pix came through.
