The various displays included ranks from the traffic, mounted, canine, Police College, Criminal Investigation and Tactical Services Unit divisions of the force.
Ranks were drawn from all of the various police divisions to take part in the signature event which usually starts at Force Headquarters before individual divisions hosts their own gymkhanas. The event was chaired by comedian Linden ‘Jumbie’ Jones.
It was attended by several senior ranks and families of policemen and women along with citizens who are friends of the police.
