hmmm who to believe, Walks or JJ? Tough question

Fear not at least the analogue network will stay live in the metro area for when country vehicles travel into Perth. The downside of course is there is no patch so you won't hear any metro vehicles or vehicles on the digital network.

We need the choppers more then the digital network and WRX's / Astras. The gov. just want to make themselfs look good, by sticking up entertainment centers and flash new buildings , instead of putting the money where its needed. Speak for yourself, digital network is probably the greatest advanceme...

plus the inquiry channels are not patched through to the analogue network so you won't hear them when they are working...........

Battle for the Golden Road, it was by Guy BASKIN who produced a few documentaries in the mid 80's. Quite a good show and gives a good look at how bloody hard it is to do the selection course.........

No cage sedans with the VE. Due to the side airbags the partition can longer be installed in the vehicle. We have been told there are no plans to create an airbag friendly device and have been told if you want a secure vehicle "Get a van with a varley pod". Even when the VZ's were around t...

Yeah each area gets to choose the vehicle and 99% of the time it is just a straight change for what is getting replaced. Obviously there are some exceptions such as at a police station you cannot order an XR6T or SV6. Plus most bosses would not even consider them due to leasing rates. When things ch...

Ford Wagon = Class 3 Commodore Wagon = Class 1 & 2. They keep pushing the release of the Commodore wagon back, they were meant to be out in May but Holden probably have production issues. Ford wagons are only class 3 due their suspension set up so you won't see too many places ordering them, par...

What? Based on your vast years of experience.

The job was an armed hold up "in progress". This is your best chance to get them and it does happen.

The pods you are talking about are Varley PODS. They are attached to the Rodeo's and Hilux and will soon become the standard secure vehicle. They are quite good but you need to remember to lock both sides, can leave you red faced putting them in one side and them leaving via the other (the doors are...

I also got a cc of that Worksafe email. My part contained a portion that must have been deleted from yours. " Please continue to be nosey and tell us about meaningless stuff that has nothing to do with you, because honestly we have nothing better to do. One suggestion the Worksafe crew can give...

I think some people need to get out more

Sorry Mr G but state security no, AFP Airport Police yes. Most are WAPOL officers seconded to the AFP so they still can enforce state statutes, pull cars over etc. They wear an AFP uniform. There are pictures of their vehicle in the picture thread, they have the NSW lightbar and lighter blue checked...

WAPOL spend money and lease something........more chance of seeing santa in his sleigh with a FLIR than the department leasing another chopper.

65 is based at Jandakot aswell near RFDS.

The only occ health requirement for vests is that they are to be worn by those officers whose primary role is traffic enforcement or where it is reasonably expected that a "significant" portion of their duties will involve operating in an environment with passing traffic ie booze bus, argu...
