JAKARTA - Police in New South Wales, Australia introduced one of the models to be included in its operational fleet, the Suzuki Jimny XL 5-door.

Named as "Sersan Jim", Jimny 5-door has a graphic appearance typical of the regional police. However, the main task is not to pursue criminals or criminal acts.

Reporting from Drive, Monday, June 23, this car is also not intended for highway patrols but in the "Community Involvement" program displayed at local events at Lake Macquarie, New South Wales, Australia.

This one car was loaned to the Crime Prevention Unit of the Lake Macquarie District Police from Suzuki Australia.

"Sersan Jim is not just a vehicle, but also a opening of the conversation. At a time when national crime levels became a topic of discussion, we saw an opportunity to make a positive contribution at the local level," said General Manager of Suzuki Australia, Michael Pachota.

Speaking of the heart of the runway, Suzuki Jimny has specifications similar to the global version, namely 1.5 liter 4-cylinder segaris which produces 102 ps of power and 138 Nm of torque.

Not only Suzuki Jimny, the New South Wales Police have borrowed a number of models to facilitate operations in recent years, such as the latest Hyundai Ioniq 6 to Subaru WRX.

In addition, local authorities also had the opportunity to use the Honda Civic Type R in 2019 as part of the "Eyewatch", namely to connect the police with the public through social media.
