Community Camera Alliance launches in Ipswich District

The Ipswich Police District Crime Prevention Unit launched the Community Camera Alliance today. The Community Camera Alliance is a Queensland Police Service (QPS) voluntary closed circuit television (CCTV) registration program.

It will also enhance investigative capacity and increase community engagement through the establishment of a voluntary CCTV registration system on the QPS database, QPRIME.

Stolen vehicle alert, Wednesday August 23

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.
Police advise that residents should secure their homes and vehicles to avoid opportunistic thefts. 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.

Redbank Plains State School meet the mascots

On Tuesday, August 22, prep students from Redbank Plains State School met to discuss personal safety with Adopt-a-Cop Constable Sue Lindsay, and two very special guests: Senior Constable Clancy and the Redbank Plains State School Panther.
The students discovered that the two mascots have a lot in common, including that they both wear blue uniforms and they both want the students to be safe and respectful learners.

Students from prep to Year 2 learnt from Constable Sue Lindsay and Constable Stefanie Purcell about the difference between being safe and unsafe and what to do should they ever feel unsafe.
Students also got to dress up as police officers and learned about marching, saluting, police equipment and solving problems via good communication.
