A huge 'THANKS' to Victoria Police for the donation of 19 fantastic bicycles that had been used by the Bicycle Training Program for the last five years. Our sincere thanks to Senior Sergeant John Papas, Officer in Charge of The Solo Unit Training Wing, who also manages Victoria Police Bicycle Training Program, for arranging this magnificent donation. The bicycles were refurbished and offered to police legatees, and with so many being interested, a ballot was conducted.
The bicycles were collected from the Attwood Police Facility on Sunday 6 October, by many very happy police legatees. Afterwards, the group were entertained by Leading Senior Constable Matt Steele at the Dog Squad who put some of the dogs through their paces, and allowed some lovely interaction with police dog X, who loves a cuddle!
Many thanks to Victoria Police, Senior Sergeant John Papas, and Leading Senior Constables Jason Taylor and Craig McLean from the Bicycle Training Program who assisted on the day.
