A number of police cars are undergoing a radical makeover as part of Maori Language Week.
The new look police vehicle will have the Maori translation for police "pirihimana" written on it.
The blue and yellow lines on the vehicle have also had an overhaul to resemble a "koru-esque" design, according to the Waikato Police Facebook page.
The new look vehicle was unveiled at the Papakura Marae on Friday ahead of Maori Language Week which runs between September 11 and 17.
The Herald understands a number of the cars will be introduced into the fleet with the plan to have a mix of signwriting on the police vehicles in either Maori and English.
