I have been trying to complete Avon at this moment in time, I have managed to do the fire service but the Police and Ambulance are harder, Due to the fact on the Fleet sheets it didn't show what station the police vehicles are based out of and on the Ambulance one it didn't say the HART Units. Does anyone have any sites that you have more information for it or could you possibly show a realistic setup, Cheers.
How to find Realistic Police and Ambulance Fleets
-
-
I've PM'd you with the info I have - you're welcome to add me in-game and see my (arguably decently realistic) setup for Avon & Somerset.
-
Take a look on the website 'what to they know' if you haven't previously done so. Someone may have asked the question.
-
Also happy to provide Ambulance station locations if you message me.

With regards to police setups, most of that infomation can usually be obtained by getting a fleet list FOI from the force,
However some forces may choose to not provide this infomation on the grounds of national security due to the risk from organised crime groups or due the threat of terrorism. -
I normally just google EMS services for the County I am building in and find it. Also google the name of the town and find the police
-
Sometimes that works, often you will find that they could be old locations so I always pop up the place on street view to double check.

There is this one for the UK version.

For the ambulance locations there are a few freedom of infomation requests out there or graphics showing station locations.Police has been a bit harder to find for me.

I like UKFireStations.co.uk but it is out of date to varying degrees in a lot of places, but it will give you a realistic fleet.
Ambulance fleets are a lot harder as the number of resources deployed from any given station generally varies day-to-day (i.e. more trucks will be on the road on a Monday afternoon than a Thursday morning) and very much by staffing. In some Trusts, ambulances move around; a specific truck might be based in Norwich, go off for a service and be sent back on the run at, say, Bury St Edmunds the next week.
WhatDoTheyKnow is your friend, but, having tried to do this over the last two years in MC, you won't find a published fleet list that is consistent between the different services.

Exactly.
I use the UK fire stations page for the location of the station and then WIKI and that page are a good way to find the fleet lists. -
