 I've been in the police service now 19 years. Moving up here has just been a godsend. The community up here, the non-hectic lifestyle that Far North Queensland offers you, and just the places I get to go, the people I get to talk to, the people I get to work with has just made my water policing career in Far North Queensland fantastic. Our individual water line here is approximately 480 nautical miles. It can take us a couple of days to travel from one end to the other, and that's why we need the community. With areas that vast, we need the support of community members, both private, civilians and other organisations to assist us, because it's just too vast an area. We've got a number of boats attached to the Cairns Water Police. We're lucky enough because we are one of the remote stations that we've been chitted out with this vessel here, which is a Nyad rigid hull inflatable. It was vessel used primarily by CERT and by the water police, it's become a day boat for us to use. It's fitted with suspension seating, large capacity fuel tanks and two 300 Suzuki outboards, which enable us to do approximately 50 knots with a range of anything up to 300 nautical miles. And it's used in a tactical sense, but we also use it for our day-to-day environment. But we also have a really large component with the search and rescue side of things in Far North Queensland, and that's probably the greatest reward I get from this job is working in the search and rescue aspects, because I, although it's an emotional roller coaster, there's nothing better than being able to tell people that you've found their loved ones.
