** ''Series/TokusouSentaiDekaranger'' and ''Series/PowerRangersSPD'' are the Police variant. (As are ''Series/MiraiSentaiTimeranger'' and ''Series/PowerRangersTimeForce'', if you're willing to count TimePolice.)
** Sets of emergency-based mecha also tend to appear in vehicle-themed series, including ''Series/GekisouSentaiCarranger''/''Series/PowerRangersTurbo'', ''Series/GoGoSentaiBoukenger''/''Series/PowerRangersOperationOverdrive'', and ''Series/ResshaSentaiTokkyuger''. This also applies to the sister franchise ''Franchise/KamenRider'' with ''Series/KamenRiderDrive'', as Drive has some emergency vehicles among his car-themed powerups.

Police, Firefighters, Emergency Medical Technicians (although lumped in with paramedics). In an emergency, they are the first to respond, as most emergencies are related to their jobs. Often overworked and underpaid, but still dedicated to their jobs. Got a real big public image boost, at least in the USA, after their selfless actions on 9/11.

** As far as Transformers go, it's probably worth noting that the ''[[Franchise/TransformersGeneration1 Generation 1]]'' combiner team the Protectobots who form Defensor are made entirely up of these vehicles (Hot Spot-fire engine, Streetwise-police car, Groove- an[[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Scale oddly large]] police motorcycle, First Aid-ambulance, Blades-air ambulance), and that the main cast of ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'' consists of these vehicles plus a military vehicle (despite appearances, Bumblebee is a police car).
*** Technically, Bulkhead is a police APC ([[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_Rover_Tangi There's precedent for these in real life.]]) He's only olive green because that's his natural color. In the pilot you can clearly see that the probes are scanning otherwise identical blue APCs that the police own. The only Autobot who is a military vehicule is Ultra Magnus, who's a Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck. Interestingly, the other tfree members of the Elite Guard (Jazz, Blurr and Sentinel Prime), transform into civilian vehicules, despite being actual members of the Autobot military, whereas the main crew of Autobots were just a repair team that JumpedAtTheCall.

Side Note, paramedics are not actually a full branch of the emergency services, but a part of the EMS (Emergency Medical Services). Paramedics are the highest of 3 skill tiers (EMT-B, EMT-I, EMT-P), so that is the most common term fiction uses.
