I have stayed off this for a while but now will add my input. Majority of crooks we catch is from public assisatnce. I have personally apprehended Drug dealers in car parks, burglars breaking into houses/businesses etc, pepole stealing cars or theft from motor vehicle's, people doing graffitti ans the list goes on. All from the public dobbing in someone acting suspiciously. I have apprehended numerous drink driver's from people calling in about erratic driver's too.

ALways call 000 in these circumstances because then the job is given out to a unit to attend or if no unit the area sgt will determine best course of action.

It is hard in relation to traffic matters because unless police witness offence occurring then hard to prosecute without number of witnesses willing to make statement.

In most cases it's whether or not police unit available at time to attend job whether we can attend. I have had 15 jobs on my plate at once before and if the first job tied me up for long period then other unit IF avail would be given job or we just have to wait until we are clear again.

Must admit i have called 000 twice on the road, once heading north about at Macksville at 1am in the morning and this car is doing 40klm/h on the Pac Hwy speeding up to 80 then slowing down. He was going into the on coming lane and i was sure a truck was going to clean him up so quickly overtook and called the cops. Up the road i noticed a local cop sitting in the entrane to a cane field and pulled over to tell him about it and the first thing she said "oh it was you who called" hopefully we saved the guys life.

The other one was heading back from wakefield and a sleepy driver just sth of Marulan, was all over the road and as we were driving past him could see he was falling asleep. Tried to beep the horn and my wife was yelling out the window but the guy didn't really respond. Luckly there was a Hwy patrol sitting in his usual spot just before the servo and i pulled over and yelled out to him what had happened and which car the guy was driving in and he then was able to pull him over. It was quiet funny in a way as as the Hwy Patrol was getting out of his car after pulling this guy over about 6 highly modifyed cars from the track day rumble past and the cop just stares at all the cars going by.
