Speaker 1 (00:00):
Are you waiting.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
God in the tile blossom, Gord in the carnival, welcome
back to this as the master singer. Sergeant Gary Edington
of the Goold Police, catch us up, Gary, Good afternoon,
how's the weekend?
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Good afternoon in good afternoon to the community. Yeah, we're
going a study weekend like we do it everywhere else.
Excuse you've got a cough, but we're doing fine. Yeah,
not too bad, thank you.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
We're just going into that time of year for us
is starting to occur around the region. So I went
to driving, I suppose fore front of mine.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Yep, absolutely, I mean, which reminding people drive to the conditions.
It's cold out there, the roads of ice overnight, they're
going to be skiddy, making sure your vehicles are safe
and up to date with your wasts and everything, and
just be responsible driving, get there safely and get back
home safely.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
As far as do I see drink driving. I mean,
there's a busy time at the moment. Festivals going on,
be a great chance of a reminder wh as your playing.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
The Absolutely, like we said before, we have a discussions
or a couple over the weekend, quite high readings and
what we're just saying to people, look, you know, we
have this conversations time and time again. It ain't worth it.
It affects the family, affects work, and ultimately putting yourself
and others at risk. So what we're just trying to
say to them is like, yeah, plan your nights out,
plan your lifts, and there is no excuses at all
(01:25):
to be fair, and it just ends in serious consequences.
Got people trying to avoiders the rural roads, you know,
trying to avoid from clubs and all sorts of things.
But just restressed as sure we are out there and
we are targeting people that are doing this sort of thing.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Fine use while driving. It's something that continues to be
a bag beer.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Yeah I think. I mean you see on a daily basis,
even when you're off duty there people just allways asking
to people as it's that urgent pull over. The amount
of people will see heads down, text in and they
think they're okay, and then this swerving and going to
the lanes and approaching intersections, it's just they ain't worth
it at all. You're gonna end up knocking someone over
(02:06):
or killing someone.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Ultimately looking vehicles as well, just having security on the
property especially rural something to keep in mind.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Yeah, we've had a few vehicle fests and we're just
asking people just to make sure that if you've got
anything valuable or anything that's identifiable, it's either taken in
with you and locked vehicles and keep it out of
you because there's people out there unfortunately, just trying to
go around opportunists looking in. That's for sure.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
It's the same old story chick out or neighborhood watch
of it exists. So I think we've talked about this before,
but just catching up your neighbors on a regular basis,
saying look them away for a couple of days, just
keep an eye on what's going on and doing the
mail and the like. So if you're living rurally, collaborating
with your neighbors and just having an extracive advice on
the traffic that's going up and down the road that
you're not used to.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Yeah, the biggest thing is just report if you see
something suspicious, and it's always happened in crime at the time,
it's one one one or if you're not, then online
or crime stoppers. You know, as I said, for what
we don't know, we don't know, So it's fine if
people want to put it on social media and Facebook
and chat rooms, but if we're not being told about it,
how to expect us to investigate it.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
There's still quite a common theme unfortunately, people are going
to social media rather than do you guys.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
I think social media is an international thing really just
out there. But I want to know what's going off
in my community, that's for sure. I take personal responsibility
for it. And it works both ways as well, the
community take responsiblity as well as as we work together
as a team.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
So once again, because as that time of year, going
to your due diligence around your vehicles, your winter chicks,
your andy freeze, you're tired trade, make sure your wipers
are working and you can see out your window, and
as well, mad it's not allowed to obstract the number
played either, is it correct?
Speaker 1 (03:46):
That's correct? Yep. So I know there's a lot of
gravel ruppers and stuff out there. But and just on
that as a just as a one one about vehicles,
there was a couple of individuals at the weekend who
were spoken to by police and they had their was
impounded doing excess speeds of one hundred k's in a
fifty Yeah, he's not funny, very incompetent, and very stupid
(04:08):
and serious consequences. As we said before, it's just not
worth it having a license as a privilege. It's not
a given. And I can rest assured out there we'll
really targeting these people who think they're good at anti
social driver or trying to avoid us likes.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
The technology, the rise of AI and unfortunately a lot
of misinformation going out there and all these scammers that
are about as well. Gary, that's just an ongoing thing. Unfortunately.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Yep, we've still got scammers out there that are targeting
with new ideas and unfortunately for every ten people per say,
they're probably one person or become a victim. And that's
the like that who said before, it's then by savings.
It has a huge impact on them. The family being
embarrassed and what we're saying to people, if you do
feel like you've been scammed, talk to your banks, talk
(04:55):
to your family, talk to your neighbors and try and
sort it out sooner on later.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Absolutely, Hey, good on you, Gary, appreciate your time. As always.
Once again, those numbers crime stoppers one oh five e
it's an emergency triple one.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Yeah, no, problems for thanks handing, and also have a
great time at the Tussic Festival this week in the Core.
It's a great place.
