'BEARCAT' RECUE VEHICLE UNVEILED IN CAIRNS

The nine-tonne $400,000 vehicle was purchased by the National Counter-Terrorism Committee and is just the second of its kind to be unleashed in Queensland.
It is bullet and blast resistant, has high level four-wheel-drive and off road capability and Far Northern Region Assistant Commissioner Katarina Carroll said it would have a large number of duties in the region.
“The ARV provides us with a host of deployment options including enabling the recovery of injured people, supporting a safe negotiation platform, providing a delivery platform for SERT operatives during high risk operations and moving resources in and out of hazardous situations,” she said.
