Noticed something odd about my MK1 Focus

Hello all. I was cleaning my Focus today, noticed some lettering on the rear bumper, spelling out ICE in quite thick lettering. 

Ive come to the assumption I'm driving a former squad car from the Police but never recall seeing them use MK1's that often as squad cars for that time period. I'd attach a picture but the lettering is only faint. Like it's just the outline of where the vinyls would have been. 

Just wondering if anyone had any information on police using these cars. It's only a 1.4 but has a lot of poke which would explain a lot.

    Yeah, that would be my only suggestion... 

    Did a quick Google images search and did manage to find a few pictures of MK1s being used as police cars.  Is the "ICE" on the bumper in the same size and place as seen here?

    Yes. More or less the same font only it seems a little closer spaced together

    Hmm...  Strange!  I guess we'll never know.
