The WA Police Heli is not a dedicated SAR/EMS helicopter at all, the people of WA do need a 24hr dedicated service. If the WA police Airwing could do the job I'm sure they would
I have just watched the Ch10 news and saw that those two guys rowing from Lancelin across the indian ocean activated their beacon and were winched aboard the RAAF Rescue Helicopter today, why then didn't the WA police airwing go. I'm not bagging the Airwing, not by a long shot, I agree they deserve more funding, however it does highlight the need for a more capable service than we have now
