Subject: [EXTERNAL] Official Information request - Police car radio antennas

CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.

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
