Police car radio antennas

Steve Hall made this Official Information request to New Zealand Police

The request was successful.

From: Steve Hall

Dear New Zealand Police,

Some time ago (and maybe still) some of the police cars were fitted with 3 roof mounted antennas.

These were all identical in length, and in a triangular layout pattern.

I suspect this was used for direction finding.

Can you please help with the following query ?

What was the purpose of these antennas, and If used for direction finding, what did they track ?

Yours faithfully,

Steve Hall
