REMOTE POLICING

Great catching up with some of our hard working members in remote areas during the last week of 2020.

Members at Elliott In what was a challenging year for all, remote officers were at the forefront of the COVID response, as well as responding to the day to day policing requirements. Thank you to Deputy Commissioner Michael Murphy APM who invited the NTPA on the visit to spend some time with officers and look over the various facilities in our remote areas.

With many of the stations and housing at a critical age, and investment needed for upgrades and new facilities, your Association will continue to lobby at a Territory and National level for funding to occur. A big shout out to Alexandra in Yarralin who made what can only be described as the best lemon slice you will ever try. The recipe was kindly offered for publication and you will not be disappointed! Thanks again.
