The Weyburn Police Service has a new vehicle roaming the streets, and you may not even have noticed it. 

An all-white cruiser has 'ghost-decals' with the WPS insignia, but it's only visible from certain angles and in certain light. It's only been in Weyburn for a few weeks and will be used mainly by the Combined Traffic Services unit.  

"It's a kind of ghost-but-not-ghost look," Deputy Police Chief Rod Stafford said. "We just thought it was something different. We thought we would give it a try and see what the community reaction was to it. So far it's been nothing but positive."

Stafford adds it is nice to have a visible presence in the community with their patrol cars, but other times ghost vehicles can come in handy. 

"We want that visibility when we're out there, but it's also nice at times for those prolific offenders to get a bit of a surprise," he explained. "There is definitely a place for partially and totally unmarked vehicles in traffic enforcement."

While the design is relatively new and sleek, Weyburn isn't the first to have such a design on a police vehicle. They actually got the idea from RCMP vehicles who use similar markings for their highway cruisers. 

"They typically use it in what really is an unmarked vehicle — a clean roof, no lights, no other markings — so it is primarily visible in the dark," Stafford noted. 

At first glance, the white SUV looks just like any other vehicle on the road. However, as you approach and your headlights start to reflect off the car, the police marking slowly become visible. 

It is a slick looking cruiser that will help the CTSS force crackdown dangerous drivers on the road.
