The Western Australia Police Force has produced two Community Service Announcements that are currently airing on the Channel Nine network.
In a statement, the Police Force said the announcements were filmed and edited by Nine News Perth and featured two incidents that played out in Western Australia in the past 12 months.
“In one, the Emergency Operations Unit helped coordinate a successful land search for a missing four-year-old girl on a remote pastoral property in the Pilbara,” it said.
“Police held serious concerns for the little girl’s safety as the area recently received heavy rainfall and creeks surrounding the property were in flood.”
The Police Force said the two-day search effort involved police from Newman, Nullagine and Marble Bar, who worked round-the-clock with help from station hands and mustering helicopters from nearby properties.
“Hope was fading until the little girl was spotted from the air sheltering on a mound of grass in the middle of a flooded creek — a happy ending thanks to the collective effort of all involved and strategic oversight provided by the Emergency Operations Unit,” it said.
The Police Force said the second announcement featured the Drug and Firearm Squad.
“The team used intelligence gained during the COVID hard border regime to refine its capabilities in identifying vehicles of interest,” it said.
“The result: A truckload of methamphetamine and millions in cash,” the Police Force said.
