Today we're here to see
the launch of the Parramatta Motorcycle
Response Team and you've just been fortunate enough to see a really good
demonstration
of the team, their skills and the police officers who will form
part of the Motorcycle Response Team.
This initiative is a partnership with New South Wales Police Force,
Transport New South Wales and the Centre for Road Safety.
It's a really good initiative. The motorcycles that you see
are unique to Parramatta, they've got unique colours and we hope that this will
also connect with the community.
So what we are now doing is also
making sure we have a Motorcycle Response team here in Parramatta and we aim to
improve pedestrian safety and also the traffic flow
and we'll do that by having a high profile, which you've just seen,
intelligence-led deployment, they'll be in the right place at the right time
and we'll be linking into the Traffic Management Centre
and also our CCTV network so we'll be able to respond
quickly and appropriately, move traffic along,
reduce congestion and importantly make it safer for
pedestrians in the Parramatta CBD and it's surrounds.
