I was hoping Greg would jump in on this. I went back out and checked my
LAPD Eldo. There is not a VP on the headstock plate but there is on the
engine block. I went over and checked my buddy John's civilian Eldo and
sue enough it was the same way. No VP on the headstock, but there it was
on the engine.

So Greg, is there any definitive way to tell if a bike was purchased or
used by a police dept?

 If there is a code on police bikes, I'm not aware of it.

The VP is used as a prefix on both police and civilian Eldorados (or
is
it Eldoradoes?).

Usually, it is stamped pn both the engines and data plates.

There is, It is "VP" and it is only on the builders plate
on the

this...."VP*061467*".

 Thought I read somewhere that police bikes had a letter in front
of the
 
 VIN. A V maybe?
