Skoda has been invited by the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) to have an exclusive slot at its national conference in July.

The carmaker, which already supplies cars to 42 of the 43 UK constabularies, will be able to show a three-minute DVD detailing its work with various police forces, including converting Octavia Scouts for dog handlers and Octavias for motorway police. It will also contain testimonials from constabularies.

The DVD will then be circulated to around 9,000 contacts in all the emergency services and can be used by Skoda’s retail network.

Skoda currently supplies 600 vehicles into the emergency services. It hopes to grow this to 1,500 over the next three to four years after appointing a sector specialist to nurture relationships.
