Never fails to impress me how well-equipped Aussie emergency vehicles are, especially with the lighting packages and the dualtone sirens, I absolutely love it!
@@letsputunuthasrimpon No way, for real? I'd have assumed it was some sort of Aussie company, or some other foreign brand, that's actually really cool!
@@shaql3408 That’s really neat! It’s interesting to see how global Whelen has become, I’ve seen their products in Britain, Germany, ECT. I always assumed they where just here in Canada and the US for a while.
@@shaql3408 yeah, North American emergency vehicles are strange compared to Europe and other places. Typically here we use purpose built police-package cars, intended for fleet use, and as well as certain brand that make purpose built fire engines, usually with lots of emergency and scene lighting. Compare that to other countries, where typically they take consumer vehicles and outfit them as emergency vehicles, usually with less lighting (though this seems to be slowly changing in some larger countries with the introduction of American products). Of course there’s exceptions, but generally this seems to be how things are.
Never understood why they ditched the highway patrol lettering on the sides and rear. It honestly made the traffic units look way better. Anyhow, good catches! We just need some compilations on Mainroads!
This video demonstrates why @thekiwicanuck is consistently the Gold Standard when it comes to emergency response videography in Perth. 🏅 The first video of the 'paddy wagon' (ute with prisoner pod on back) feels like a completely different era. They used to be so common but now they are no more. Videographers are in a way are also historians documenting evolution. The livery and lighting set-up used to be much more minimal compared to the Christmas trees on wheels of today!
No idea, it's the only time I ever heard that sound, I'm assuming it was malfunctioning. Decades ago, some sirens would make unintended sounds if you used the buttons or dials incorrectly, but I doubt this was the case here.
Good old beast of a Bearcat going priority. They take a bit to get up to speed, take a lot to slow all that weight down, and vision isn’t great to drive with the ballistic windscreen and cage. So if you ever see it get out of the way 😂
Did the stinger at 2:06 have a third siren? If so, I never heard it Or was it the ambulance behind it in your ambulance response vid, it looks like the same place And I saw the same place in your fire truck vid, were they all going to an MVA?

Most of it is U.S code 3 gear.

Our undercovers are definitely more lit up than the unmarked nsw negotiators thats for sure!

Nice video

Aww, thanks, mate! 😊
That ute was definitely from a different era, my first catch in Perth after arriving in 2011
Coming from a Victorian. I miss seeing Falcon/Commodore units
I haven't seen an FG Falcon for a while, but there are still quite a few VFs on the beat in WA
Very Nice ❤
NICE CATCHES
On 1:23 do you know why it makes that weird kind of like chirp sound?
No idea, it's the only time I ever heard that sound, I'm assuming it was malfunctioning. Decades ago, some sirens would make unintended sounds if you used the buttons or dials incorrectly, but I doubt this was the case here.

I don't know why I find it funny that somebody has filmed the cops like this. I swear a few of the cops looked at the person filming them too haha!
The number of times a day I have a speed camera pointed at me, we're not even yet! 😂
At 6:26 is that wail siren a different siren? It sounded low pitch when he switched the siren, or is it a regular wail siren?
A lot of emergency services now use the horn buttons on the steering wheel to change siren tone, so you hear the horn briefly as they change tones.
Did the stinger at 2:06 have a third siren? If so, I never heard it
Or was it the ambulance behind it in your ambulance response vid, it looks like the same place
And I saw the same place in your fire truck vid, were they all going to an MVA?
Yeah, all same incident, bit of a convoy happening!
So that was the ambulance siren in the back?
@@West.aus.emergency.response I dunno, I'd have to find the original video
UK: 😐
USA: 👹
Australia: 💀
Some of that footage must be a few years old. Commodores and Falcons have been long gone in Victoria police. Surely WA would be similar
Still some VF Commodores about, but I haven't seen a Falcon for a few years.
TS cars are usually drivers under instruction
You mean the WT cars? The three TS cars above were headed to crashes and a bushfire.
Yes, the WT cars attached to the police academy commonly perform driver training: ruclips.net/video/T0FiEfBvg78/видео.html
A police state much like Melbourne
