SUV's are unusual for the German police, but sometimes they are using some.
My brother-in-law is a police-officer close to Berlin and for some years they had Opel Frontera's as regular cars.
He told me, that the ministery doesn't look for models or brands of police-cars, it is only interested in the price for the whole fleet. So when new cars will be bought, the policemen got the cars, which makers have made the best offers.
After the Frontera he got a Mercedes C-Klasse. This had the result, that the citizens were getting angry and have said "East Germany is a poor country and the police is driving Benz". He only could say "It's a fact, that this time Mercedes Benz has made the best price, less than opel or VW. What shall we do?"
