What is the maximum number of general duties police vehicles attached to the Newcastle City Local Area Command that are available to respond to call outs on any one shift?

Answer -

The NSW Police Force has advised me :

Newcastle City Local Area Command has a first response agreement based on calls for service. As part of this agreement, there is a minimum of four rostered car crews⁄vehicles available for general duties response on any one shift. The Command has a total of 33 vehicles, 13 of which are used primarily for general duties policing and the remainder are regularly used for operational responses. Additional officers and vehicles are regularly rostered based on intelligence and community needs.
