00:00It's a great day today. We're here obviously to open the Blaney Police Station which has had a significant upgrade.

00:08The government has invested more than $2 million on this upgrade, which I've just had the grand tour.

00:14It has really made this station a fit for purpose police station for our wonderful police here in the Midwest.

00:23This front counter used to be about another 10 metres that way.

00:30They used to have to jump the front counter and come out the front door.

00:34Do you have a glass for plastic and stuff?

00:36No, that's an upgrade for security so the police are more secure.

00:40There's a CCT camera now, just having a good view of everything that's going on.

00:53We've got the internal over there, so speak to people.

01:00And also we've got the, what do we call that?

01:11The van dock.

01:12The van dock, yes.

01:13I know, I know.

01:18I know.

01:19I know, I know.

01:20Yeah.

01:21They're based at all.

01:22And this is one of our half of the real competition too.

01:25Just a few of the tools that we've got here.

01:28We'll have a look at the tools.

01:31Most of the spread is Ken.

01:33We've ate in that.

01:35This one might be a little bit different than anyone's seen.

01:38So that's a DNA applicator and a DNA robot.

01:41We use some soft tissue in sheep predominantly.

01:45We can use them in other things.

01:48So tell me your circumstance where you can use that.

01:50So a livestock theft investigation.

01:55They claim they're theirs.

01:57They claim they're theirs.

01:58And we can't quite get over the evidence or something like that.

02:02So we'll go and take the DNA off the stock that we've got.

02:06And we then can compare it to a ram or some other stock that they've got to compare it to.

02:13So that's really cool.

02:14And cattle we can just rip and tell it is and stuff like that.

02:17And send that away.

02:18Send that away.
