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...............

hey Guys!
Awesome site you have here.
The signal is bounced of more than station.Each time the frequency is change to prevent people getting the full message.
Same as the prisons system.
You only get snipets of a message

Sounds like they might be using a trunking system... Anyone poked a trunktracker scanner at their freqs and see what happens?

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

Depending on what you went into.You would do your 12 months in theDetention centre to start with.I dont know if they still do it that way.But when i was looking into it,Thats what i was told.
There are many areas in the APS,Me personaly,i would love it.Its not for everyone,Make sure you know what you want to do and then go for it.

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 is fairly mundane and boring but thats only what I've heard.
