I think we should get rid of the VRA. I think the local government should look at police rescue as a better option, police are highly taught of and have the upmost respect in the community. I believe the VRA just doesn’t cut modern needs anymore.
POLICE RESCUE
Garry. After working beside VRA for the best part of 10yrs now i would rather them to be cutting me out of a car then any othe servicre in NSW. I find it very hard to beleive that people go around saying “we should get rid of them” think of all the time and effort these VOLUNTEERs put into the community and ask for nothing in return. Its just like people saying get rid off the RFS as the is paid fire fighter.s That can do the job.. Times are changing and without the volunteers NSW and Australia for that matter would be in a lot of trouble…. Jobs need doing and the volunteers step into the spot and get it done.
The VRA has served Wyong and its satellite suburbs very well over the years but the demographics have changed to such an extent that a full time professional rescue unit is now needed to service the rapidly increasing population, housing, business and commercial precincts. With all due respect to Garry, police rescue is not the answer as it only has 8 units in the whole of NSW and has been downsizing over the years. There are 319 accredited rescue units in NSW and Fire & Rescue NSW operates 182 of them. It is the best placed rescue agency to provide a full-time 24/7 rescue response for the area presently covered by Central Coast VRA.
