Unfortunately for the most over here its in German, but I want to recommend this TV-reportage. This evening 20.15 at "WDR".
http://www.wdr.de/tv/wdrdok_af/sendungsbeitraege/2009/0213/0213.jsp
About the first policemen after the war. They used a plenty of material from the 50ies and 60ies. So even if you cannot understand the language, probably a plenty of old police-vehicles are to see.
The summary says something about strange rules. So some cops should chase criminals with the tram, because they hadn't enough motorbikes and cars.
Some cars had no sirens, so the policemen had to shout the signals by their own and so on...
Btw.: no kidding, in some German towns nowadays the police had to use the tram again - because they hadn't enough money for fuel.
And the policemen have to clean their offices by theirselves, too. Reality in the supposed rich Germany anno 2009.
