OM in chase this afternoon

Post by Antt »

Om called urgent pursuit later this afternoon , on the Armadale channel, the pursuit never really got started, but the man was wanted in connection with the stealing of $80,000.00 worht of wire from the Armadale to Mandurah railway, The inspector wanted to know why this chase was so urgent and OM gave a full run down of this guy, whilst screaming for urgent backup, but the inspector wouldnt allow the pursuit because the driver was didnt have a driving class. not heard that before, i dont think they ended up getting him, did anyone else hear this?

Yeah i heard that one...he was priority two driver in a class three vehicle and as such the inspector aborted him immediatly. Heard the same thing on the Freo channel not long after that when a VK car tried to apprehend a dirt bike rider. I really cant understand why all police dont come from the academy with pursuit driver qualifications, seems to me like the force would catch a whole lot more baddies if they just stepped up the training.....or kept the Sup`s outta the radio room :roll:
