New color scheme?

I noticed a few weeks ago that Oakmont had placed a new police car in service. It had been equipped with radios, or at least antennas, and a light bar on the roof. There were no markings on the car yet and it was entirely white. This is not unusual since when the cars are replaced they typically come in plain and are put in service before all of the accouterments are installed.

What surprised me was that several days latter I noticed the new car sitting on the paddock in front of the station with blue striped that extended the entire length of the car. None of the other cars have these markings so I wonder if the department is going for a new color scheme? There was still no lettering or emblems on the doors so I will be interested to see what the final color scheme looks like. I took the digital camera to work with me this morning expecting to snap a picture of the new car for here on the blog but it wasn't much of a day for photography in the early part of the day. I forgot and left the camera at work so I didn't get a chance to look on the way home. I will post one soon though.
