No time was wasted in getting a new police vehicle out and about to visit local schools to spread the online safety message.
The Hyundai Tuscon is for the Tuggerah Lakes Police Crime Prevention Unit and was donated and sponsored by Booth’s Motor Group at Tuggerah.
The day after the official handover the Tuggerah Lakes Youth Officer was at Ourimbah Public School to conduct an online safety presentation for students and then at Northlakes Public School for another crime prevention address.
Managing Director of Booth’s Motor Group, David Booth, said he was delighted to support the local police and thanked them for keeping the community safe.
The vehicle was officially handed over to Chief Inspector Paul Nicols on Wednesday, December 7.
Also, in attendance was Darkinjung Aboriginal Land Council Chairman BJ Duncan who gave the acknowledgement to country, along Aboriginal Community Liaison Officer Rab Hammond, Booth’s Motor Group Director Sandra Booth, General Sales Manager Derek Hoy, Regional General Manager of Hyundai Australia Anthony Rogers and Area Sales Manager of Hyundai Andrew Thomas.
The vehicle displays unique Police decals along with indigenous artwork and Chief Inspector Nichols said it was a welcome asset to the Tuggerah Lakes Police District for the local community.
