I got pulled over a while ago, the officer had a jumper on it with a MIG logo imprinted on it. He was als wearing a holster(and obviously the gun) around his leg, he didn't look unconfortable in it. That is the first time I have seen a holster worn around the leg before

The Thigh Hoslters are just being trialled at the moment. There are only 3 trialling them at perth on the normal shifts.

TRG and I believe Migs have them full time.

They are going to be trialling a multi purpose vest soon that disributes the weight better. The vests will carry the cuffs, spray, baton and radio and I think the spare glock magazine. I believe they will be coming out in a couple of months for the trial.

When I was filming the few armed holdups a couple of months ago (Subway) the police officer there had a thigh holster. He was ex-mig though.

Whoever gets chosen to trial them keeps them until the trial is finished. I believe that I may be one of the ones trialing the new vests. Will find out soon.

Are you a qualified P1 driver though?

If not you have no chance

besides only TEGS MIGS TRAFFIC and a few other specialist areas get them.

GD'S have no need for them (waits for the flaming to begin)

We are entitled to have an SV6, so guess that means we can have a Turbo......
To be honest though in Gd's they are not practical, The normal sedans with Steel rims do the trick... Although I would not complain if I were given one........ My bonus is Taser coming my way

Come on Danny, I have seen you drive. You may be more experienced than me but have you had to put out a burning car of mine!!!
I pay the XR6T though. When are you taking me for a spin?

Yeah if you have an SV6 you can get a XR6T

And having 17 inch rims makes curb hoping that little bit more harder

Taser
