Ipswich police help to prepare school leavers

As the middle of the year is fast approaching, school leavers are beginning to plan their end of year celebrations.
To help prepare Ipswich students, the Ipswich District Crime Prevention Unit have invited all year 12 students to attend the Rocky Horror Road Show (RHRS) – a year 12 harm minimisation program to be held at the City Hope Church, Ripley in July.
The project includes a Schoolies presentation from Department of Communities Child Safety and Disabilites, Liquor Licensing and Gaming and incorporates Queensland Police Service (QPS), Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS), Spinal Injuries and the Ripple program.
At the beginning of the day, QPS, QAS and Queensland Fire Emergency Service (QFES) provide a simulation of traffic trauma, after students view a short video involving a party scene where peers are faced with alcohol and drugs.
The students are then escorted to the ‘traffic trauma scene’ where by QAS, QFES and QPS narrate their roles

Lock it or lose it, the inconvenience will cost you

Unfortunately, when residents don’t use sufficient home security measures, opportunistic thieves can break into homes and steal valuables and vehicles. This is known as sneak breaks.
Ipswich Police are reminding residents to lock and secure their property and remove their car keys to a safe location within the house. These simple measures reduce the chances of falling victim to property crime .
Most people leave their most valuable possessions at the front entrance of their home, along with money and car keys.
If someone was to enter your property would your property be safe?
Opportunistic thieves generally target small items with a good re-sale value that are easy to load off and sell quickly. This includes mobile phones, laptops, iPads, power tools and equipment from unlocked sheds or garages.
By marking your property, it helps deter theft and provides proof of ownership of your personal property making it more difficult for a thief to offload.

74 people charged during Peak Crossing traffic and drug operation.

Ipswich police have charged 74 people with 99 offences following a four-day operation targeting drug driving and illicit drug use in Peak Crossing recently.
The operation was conducted between February 16 and February 19 and coincided with a local festival.
The operation utilised officers from Harrisville police, the Roadside Drug Testing Unit, Road Policing Task Force, Ipswich Road Policing Unit, Ipswich Tactical Crime Squad, Brisbane Dog Squad and general duties officers from across the Ipswich district.
Whilst the general behaviour of festival patrons and road users was positive, this year did see an increase in driver’s being detected under the influence of drugs and/or liquor with 27 being charged.
These results are of significant concern to local police as the effects of driving whilst under the influence of drugs can severely impact the ability of the driver, including their reaction time and inability to judge distance and speed.
During the operation, 35 people were charged with
