As with most Police Vehicles TE has a AVL (Auto Vehicle Locater), if a job comes up and we are close, ie a crash or cars cutting up and hooning etc, we get asked to attend if the district cars are tied up.yorky wrote:(correct me if I'm wrong on any of these danny)Toottoot wrote:Do TE cars get TASKED to attend traffic offences or only Ax cars?

TE cars don't get tasked, however I'm sure if they hear it on the radio they may float past.
Ax cars also partake in RBTs and laser on there own if they are quiet. Obviously the TE breath section do the bus's.

If the TEGS are already attending urgent situations that's technically "not their job", could this move be nothing more sinister than formalising what already happens in reality?danny wrote:That was the point, for a interesting discussionTyranus wrote:Jeez danny you've really started something here! lol but it has lead into an interesting discussion.
I think alot of people forget TEGS already attend alot of urgent tasks and alot of traffic crashes already. When cars are calling for urgent back up, theres not a officer at the office that wont get there as quick as the car will allow, trust me.
According to that report we attended 700 non traffic jobs last year as it was.

You wouldn't see TEG cars out there with your plan, you would see more district cars. There would no longer be TExxx. i.e. if Danny was moved to midland he'd be HM7xx.Toottoot wrote:I believe that the TEG section should stay but be nothing more than administration.
The TEG cars should go back to the district to focus on local areas and develop local knowledge. Also to be in the area when non traffic jobs come in and be able to respond if not otherwise engaged.
When there are major traffic operations they should be co ordinated by the administrative TEG section who ring district supervisors and request cars for jobs. Buses to be sent to districts also but available for coordinated responses.
That way there is more chance of seeing TEG cars out there.

just a quicky RE Motorbike Police Officers.... Do they usually always travel in pairs? and also do they work @ night time?danny wrote:OH&S means 2 officers per car, better safetyAusrob wrote:Outsource office work, 1 police officer per car then we don't need TEG as their will be plenty of cars on road to do random stops.
With traffic work 2 officers seeing the same thing is alot better evidence than the old one on one.
