WA Radio Scanner Users' Group

I am finding it quite alarming that the WA Police dont seem to be able to find suitable or enough recruits to fill squads. There has been numerous interesting articals lately including in todays paper about it, as a current applicant I hope this goes in my favour but at the same time I dont think th...

Yea I guess that sends a sad message out, but at the end of the day id rather have a copper go home to his family, they'll get them another day.

Now that their part of AFP they only do the Airports and Embassys in Perth . The detention centre is staffed by a private contractor similar to AIMS. Dont know the name of the company, The former APS tendered for the contract in 2002 but lost it to the private company. From what I know of the job it...

What do you think it would be like as a job, in the APS.

I think the current system is ok, the OIC at VKI (Inspector) normally give the call to abort, much to the disgust of the troopers in the field.

Safety takes priority.

I thought the APS would have worked on the Federal Police bands etc.

I cant really answer this yet with allot of knowledge but to I am to the best of my knowledge the Heli is their primary aircraft and the fixed wing (62) is the secondary aircraft. I think the Heli is more dynamic as it can be used for rescues as well as landing in the middle of knowhere duing operat...

Let it be a lesson to those who pull these pranks, condolences to the family and friends of this young fella.

Scott, Not sure mate, where did you hear that. They definatly need a helicopter for pursuits and other work, they still need to hover and do rescuses etc. The fixed wing aircraft is more used for transporting officers in emergencys and operational use when Polair 61 is out of action. I will confirm ...

I guess nobody knows, has anyone actually seen these guys do anything when there walking around the airports. Im sure they do a great job in their CTFR role that they have.

Any ideas...............

Plenty of examples--this is a public forum and I am not going to publish them on here. The PTA budgets for security on the bus network, this would just be an extension of the current Transit Guard Operation. Transit Guards currently have authority to deal with offenders on any PTA property including...

Just get MSN Messenger, get an account and when people are online you can chat to them.

The HERO's are responsible for ensuring the smooth flow of traffic and clearing an obstructions that occur on the freeway. I think the main reason they want the priority status is so they can get through traffic to attend to incidents on the freeway. In NSW the RTA Traffic Emergency Patols have this...

Main Roads HERO crews will soon be able to proceed to jobs under emergency conditions after a reveiw of the service, the Traffic Operations Centre in Perth will be their dispatch centre. HERO's are responsible for attending to any incidents that occur on our Main Roads Network such as accidents, eme...

I think they all have differant purposes, SJA dont really need police radios as they are basically an air ambulance and get instrucitons from 6DS. Polair 61 get their instructions from VKI as firies get theirs from their comms. Communications have an intercom system where they can speak to each othe...
