Eastern suburbs/hills, the best part of Perth. Lived up there for 18 years before moving out of the parents place.

only problem is all the new development going in soon going to ruin it all! We'll need a Helena Valley Fire Station and Ambulance Depot, and small Cop shop before long, won't complain too much so long as I can go take pics of their vehicles

[imacop]

yeah, helena valley estate is a bit of an eyesore. I went there when it was a rubbish dump and grabbed a few discarded pornos. the same lake is still there. ahh, the memories.
HVPS keeps getting bigger too. went there for 6 years.

Hope this isnt a dumb question guys but can someone tell me what a "Delta" car is and why are they called this?

[WPXZBP]

From recollection Delta cars were detectives from Division 79.

[imacop]

Now called the Major Incident Group.

From another thread:

MIG is a 24 hour rapid response unit to attend incidents of major crime and serious/high risk incidents.. Formerly known as 79 Division (hence the Delta callsign); they initially consisted of an experienced uniformed trafifc officer who had to be a pursuit qualified and a detective who had at least attained the rank of detective first class constable.. Having two experienced officers in the one (usually unmarked) vehicle over a revolving 24 hour shift for both north and south of the river; provided the less experienced officers in the metro and inner regional areas with advice and field leadership during the above mentioned emergency situations. Over the past ten years, especially with the dissolution of the Vehicle Crime Unit (who were drawn from the Division 79 reserve pool) they have been the ONLY squad capable of crossing district boundries in the constant engagement of serial car thieves and violent offenders..

It was widely known by car thieves and hardened criminals, if you were engaged by the black or dark blue Commodores (and now SV6's and Falcon XR6t's) with the twin aerials and smudged number plates, you were going to be caught, no matter what.. And it is still the case today with MIG responsible for engaging and capturing a sizeable amount of SMV's and serial offenders in this state..

So fellow users; those from LXXIX past and present have been usually at the pointy end of the stick, know what they're talking about & considered part of the elite of the WA Police..

But K-9 and ROG's can go for a scout anywhere as well can't they?

Read all of it

[quote] MIG is a 24 hour rapid response unit [quote]

none of the others is 24hrs and they have a different role

[Rockjet]

So the MIG is on call 24/7 do they have their own station or base like the TRG? Does anyone have a photo of a Delta car?

.... thanks for the info Walks

with the twin aerials and smudged number plates, you were going to be caught,

How smudged?? Are they made unreadable, or is that for when they're on TV??
