Delivered on 4 June 2023 and entered service on 26 July 2023 as the first of two new H145-D3s for WA Police. This D3 version has a five-bladed main rotor.

Equipped for single-pilot and instrument flight rules, with night vision, a fully-integrated police mission system, Airbus Helionix avionics suite and four-axis autopilot.
