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.
