Queensland Police Service Ipswich District Crime Prevention Unit would like to thank all the police across the Ipswich Police District,  the Ipswich Community, our Ipswich Mayor Andrew Antoniolli and Councillors Paul Tully,  Sheila Ireland and Joanne Miller who attended and supported the Dunk a Cop event at the Krispy Kreme, Redbank Plains.

It was a successful event in support of our own Detective Senior Constable Max Gardener and his young family who were involved in a serious traffic crash in NSW.  Max spent time in the John Hunter Hospital (Newcastle) and has since been transported to the PA Hospital in Brisbane. Max and his family still have a long road to recovery and need every bit of assistance available.
Many work colleagues nominated their time and money to help with what has been a difficult time for the family.

Queensland Fire Emergency Services and Queensland Ambulance Service officers lent a helping hand.
