Hey everyone, I stumbled across the picture below whilst browsing around another forum, and I was wondering on your thoughts/opinions if WAPOL were to use the below for commands posts or something alike in public places. It is called a skywatch, and was originally invented for the use of hunters in America, the army and numerous Police departments in America use them at public events and in troublesome places. Personally I find it a good idea, would be handy in the worse parts of Perth. What do you all think?

Kind of reminds me of the movie Ghost in the Darkness with the guy on the platform and the lions below. But some idiot is sure to crash a car into it. Dont think Perth is in need of them, but yeah maybe for Skyshow it would work.

I don't think the Police Department will just buy the tower for the soul use of the skyshow

spartacus I never said WAPOL were buying one, I just simply came across the picture and thought it would be interesting to see what others thought, I don't care that you think WAPOL wouldnt buy one for the 'soul' purpose of the skyshow, it's just your opinion I know.
