| Special police plates were experimentallly introduced in Moscow in 2001. The experiment seemed to be successful, as in a year "blue" plates appeared in other regions, too. Police plates may be issued to cars and trucks, motorcycles and trailers. The vehicle plate is of a "one letter-four digits" format. A regional code reference the city of the vehicle registration. As an exception, code "77" refers to the Ministry of Internal Affairs (a kind of a "federal" police plate). The letter is the key: it specifies the division or department where the vehicle belongs to. Below are the codes of the police vehicles. |
