WA Police Rescue Unit

Post by celestial_insight »

I saw the Police Rescue truck at Maylands Boat Ramp yesterday when I was going in the river. Looks like an American SWAT unit!!! I am not much of a browser of the Pictures thread, and I have tried typing in police rescue in the search term and didn't find much. Are there photos of it on here?

WAPOL call it a Tactical Assault and Rescue Vehicle so I assume TRG use it mainly.

Yeah, and now I feel better that I wasn't seeing things a coupla weeks ago ! They unveiled another vehicle as well as the APRV, they now have a FCV (Forward Command Vehicle) - both with the latest comms gear to act as a control centre for emergencies and events. It can stream incident video from the scene, has geospatial mapping capabilities and "full remote access to WAPOL network".
