The people who made the inside of police cars

From Afternoons, 1:35 pm on 11 October 2024

We're used to seeing police vehicles around our neighborhoods - but how much thought do we give to what's inside them? Jesse talks with the people who customise every single one of NZ's patrol cars, and all of the more specialised police rigs, trucks and vans.

It all happens in Hamilton. Jesse talks to the Wade Group's Alyssa Wade and the head of its emergency vehicle division Neil Robinson.

Approximately 2000 Skodas have been recalled in New Zealand over potential fire risk issues, including the Superbs used by the police.
