Frank Spice Nissan made the decision to provide the Lachlan Local Area Command with a new Nissan Pulsar.
The Pulsar will be used by several officers involved in crime prevention, youth liaison and domestic violence.
Without the support of Frank Spice, operational police vehicles would be diverted to community, school meetings and community events.
The sponsor vehicle arrangement is greatly appreciated and highlights how a long standing local business such as Frank Spice Nissan can participate and support local police in the prevention of crime
- Chief Inspector Dave Cooper
The generosity of Frank Spice Nissan allows operational police vehicles to remain on the street and responding to community needs.
Chief Inspector David Cooper of the Lachlan Local Area Command, said, “The sponsor vehicle arrangement is greatly appreciated and highlights how a long standing local business such as Frank Spice Nissan can participate and support local police in the prevention of crime.”
Police are looking forward to continuing their crime prevention work and they will be even more visible now, getting out and about in the Nissan Pulsar throughout the Parkes, Forbes and Lachlan Shires.
Frank Spice Nissan’s dealer principal, Troy Hurford, said support for the police area command was a continuation of community goodwill.
“We felt it is a good opportunity to give something back to the community, a gesture in helping crime prevention and the opportunity to extend our input to the community we currently have,” he said.
One of the tasks local police take on is crime prevention, here is some of their advice on home security
If you'll be away for more than a couple of days:
ensure that everything is secured and consider engraving valuables with your details,
stop deliveries; empty bins; turn the phone volume down;
have trusted friends clear your mailbox;
have a friend or neighbour park their car in your driveway;
arrange for someone to cut your lawn and keep your property tidy;
ask a relative or friend to occasionally check your home; advise them of where you can be contacted,
let a trusted neighbour know your plans;
pay bills in advance so that your supply continues while you're away;
avoid posting information about being away on holidays; and,
be sure your home and contents insurance is adequate and up to date.
If your home has been broken into call your local police station immediately. Don't touch anything. Let police see your home exactly as the thief left it.
While you are waiting for police to arrive, compile a list of what you think is missing.
