Commenting on the new vehicle, James Poulain said: “This new Hyundai police vehicle allows us to provide a professional policing response within the Port of Tilbury and the surrounding area. It is fully fitted out for our rapid response needs and it has plenty of additional storage room to carry the extra equipment needed in the port to respond to a vast range of incidents. Our thanks go to the team at Hyundai for all their support in getting this vehicle ready for service”.
