Divvy? As in a (police) divisional van? As in "you're going home in the back of a divvy van" commonly chanted at pubs?

Urban Dictionary comes up with the following:
Divvy...a person who is a bit of a waster, or is unemployed. Comes from the dole, which is DIVided to the unemployed. A shorter version of this is the word Divv, which also means the same thing. OR Used usually as a Harmless Insult Usually meaning silly / stupid / idiot but in a harmless non threatening way
