Smith calls for police vehicle

Labor candidate for Gosford Ms Katie Smith has called for one of 25 new mobile police command vehicles to be deployed locally to increase high visibility policing on the Peninsula.

"I have listened to the local community and agree with them that more high visibility policing in our community is what residents want," said Ms Smith.

Ms Smith said the NSW Government invested $3.3 million in the 2010-11 police budget to roll-out 25 new mobile police command units across NSW.

"I will be campaigning hard to get one of those vans delivered to our local area," she said.

Mobile police command units are vehicles designed to function as an off-site headquarters for police officers, she said.
