HILLS highway patrol supervisor Sergeant Robert Toynton has been hitting our streets with a camera crew in tow.
You can see him in action in Channel Nine's RBT, a documentary series about random breath-testing operations.
``It's good to get the road safety message out there to people in one hit,'' Sergeant Toynton, who expressed his strong passion for road safety during an interview with the News.
``[RBT] shows, to a big audience potentially, the dangers of drink-driving.''
Of particular concern to him are people who speed in school zones.
``The thing that affects police most is things which happen with kids, especially when they're hurt,'' he said.
The Kellyville sergeant has a family of his own. ``My wife and a little two-year-old girl are driving around our roads.''
Asked if he minded being in front of a camera, Sergeant Toynton said: ``Having cameras isn't a problem. We've got the [in-car cameras in police vehicles] every day of the week ...
``What's a bit off-putting is when you get out of the police car, then you walk up and there's a film camera there. [But] you get used to it pretty quickly.''
Sergeant Toynton will be on Ten's Ready Steady Cook in coming months.
``A colleague had seen some pictures of a birthday cake that I'd made for my daughter, so she thought of me straight away [when the producers were looking for police to appear on the show],'' he said.
The cake he made was of Dorothy the Dinosaur.
``The whole point was for her [his daughter] to recognise it [Dorothy] and she did, so it was a success,'' he said.
Yes, he does cook. And no, he doesn't mind cooking.
