Gidday Brad,

Welcome on Board - Priority One = Pursuit or other TOP priority job - but mainly used for pursuits.

IR = Investigation Report (not 100% sure) - Hope this helps

Yep - P1 is definately "blues and two's" (UK terminology) with very high speed permitted. P2 has a speed limit I think.

IR = Incident Report perhaps?

Nope, never heard of a P1, even an armed hold up is a P2. P1 is when someones life is seriously in danger- i dont think trying to self harm counts. More for robberies, hold ups in which hostages are taken and that sort of thing, chase with a murderer .

I have heard a P1 a couple of times. It was not long ago , (makes me sound old) that there was no Pursuit priority, And all chases got up to P1 .

I would like to bet that the Karratha coppers responding to the shooting call were sent Priority 1. I have visuals of every officer in Karratha racing to the scene.

:P

Couple of the Delta cars got P1 to that shooting in Ziatas rd in Wanneroo last year.

"Yep - P1 is definately "blues and two's" (UK terminology) with very high speed permitted. P2 has a speed limit I think. "

I hardly call 140km/h, very high speed.

cheers

p.s. Walks takes a P1 when he goes to buy his crib at MacDonald's :lol:

Apart from amateur radio (i.e. listening with the intention of finding someone to talk to), I use a bit of UHF CB and monitor mostly FESA and Westrail. Not a real VKI scanning fan actually. Most of my scanning is done in the car and here's a pic of the setup:
