German Federal Police Department
Here's a walk around and look inside of a water cannon truck from the Federal Police Department. This truck marked as DEG 3 is the 3rd water cannon truck from the division in Deggendorf, Free State of Bavaria.
The truck is from a series of the so-called WaWe 10 Cobra (10 standing for 10,000 liters of water on board) water cannon trucks. They are made by Rosenbauer, a well-known producer of fire apparatus. The trucks look the same at all divisions from the Federal Police Department and also at the states' riot police divisions.
