Does the one Class 47 in Police livery count as an advert?

I think there were two loco's which carried the word 'police' one was used in a TV advert supposedly pulling alongside a 'speeding' train and booking the driver! I think this loco was originally 37093 then re-numbered and painted in what should have been a water-based paint designed to wash off easily... Yeh...as if!.. The other was a brush 47 in police livery and used to deter tresspassers with some success. Both locos were withdrawn last year I believe?
