Bring along your four legged friend to Dogs on Patrol
Barclay and myself
The Ipswich District Dogs on Patrol initiative has become a community favourite with not just our two legged friends but our four legged friends as well.
The Dogs on Patrol initiative commenced in the North Brisbane District and was successfully implemented at a number of locations across the Ipswich Police District last year. First to implement was Providence and South Ripley, then Redbank Plains and the Million Paws Walk.
Dogs on Patrol is a crime prevention initiative that provides strategies to members of the community who are out and about walking their dogs. The idea behind the initiative is for people to assist police by reporting crime and or providing a good description of suspicious persons or activities whilst they are out and about on their daily walk.
You’re invited to two upcoming events near you:
Dogs on Patrol Raceview
Date: Sunday, November 5
Time: 9am to midday
Where: David W Coultas Off Leash Dog Park

Police advise that residents should secure their homes and vehicles to avoid opportunistic thefts.
In the past, many vehicles have been taken while the victims were at home.
Keys, mobile phones and cash were also stolen after thieves allegedly gained entry to homes and easily located car keys in plain view.
Hiding car keys and valuables will make it difficult for offenders to steal your vehicle and other property.
Ask yourself, “where are my car keys?”
If you can, secure your car in a garage or park your vehicle inside of your yard rather than on the street. This will also assist in the prevention of number plates being stolen.
If you have information for police, contact Policelink on 131 444 or provide information using the online form 24hrs per day.
You can report information about crime anonymously to Crime Stoppers, a registered charity and community volunteer organisation, by calling 1800 333

Thefts from motor vehicles, Springfield
Thieves continue to target vehicles with ongoing thefts occurring across the Springfield police division.
In particular, the theft of number plates and the theft of tools from work utilities with lockable storage areas are being targeted.
As opposed to occurring on work-site during daytime hours, the current spate of offences are occurring overnight when vehicles are parked on the street or in driveways.
As our investigations continue, please make sure you lock and secure your vehicles at all times, as often these crimes are opportunistic.
If you have information for police, contact Policelink on 131 444 or provide information using the online form 24hrs per day.
