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 your keys”.
 
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 333 000 or via crimestoppersqld.com.au 24hrs per day.

When you’re home alone and someone unexpectedly knocks on your door – you might get a bit of a fright, and justifiably so.
If you don’t know the person knocking on your door, it’s easy to politely ask them who they are and what they want. Don’t be afraid to ask for ID when they say they’re from a business. Most businesses provide their employees with some form of photo identification and business cards. Especially door to door sales companies. You can always look up companies online too and give their head office a call if you would like confirmation if their offer sounds too good to be true. It’s your home -you have a right to feel safe in it.
We should all be aware of how much personal information we are giving away. Just because someone is asking in person, doesn’t make it safe or legitimate. If someone knocks on

Karana Downs police and the Rotary Club of Karana Downs have had a strong partnership for many years, working together on various projects to provide support to the local community.
Last week the club along with a Moggill State Emergency Services representative, attended the Karana Downs police station for a visit. They had a tour of the station including its facilities and gained an insight into the day-to-day life of a police officer.
The group were shown the working areas of the station including suspect interview room, victim and witness rooms and the breath analysis room where drink drivers are processed. They were also given the opportunity to experience the holding cell where offenders are held whilst being processed for criminal offences and other matters.
Rotary Club member Richard Oakley said the work pressures, together with the vast range of incidents police officer face on a daily basis, is something he and the

Sneak breaks can occur when you don’t use the home security you have whilst you are in another part of the house, or have gone outside.
Most people leave their most valuable property 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-safe 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.
It also assists police to identify the rightful owner, and return the stolen property.
What can you do to safeguard your property?

Use an engraver. Engravers can be located at a police station free of charge;
Use identification warning

The first week of November saw Queensland’s finest from across the Ipswich Police District come together to play a group of senior students from Redbank Plains State High School in futsal.
The students come from a variety of backgrounds and the team included representatives at all levels including national level.
The police team represented rebuilt knees, ankle injuries, calf injuries and back injuries (and that was just one officer). Although the police team also contained an ex-national level player (and the current school based police officer), she was very disappointing on the day.
All players looking fresh as a daisy after the match
Whilst the police where given a lesson in skill and speed by the students, the never die attitude of the police was warmly received by the players and the crowd of students and teachers that gathered. Some humorous commentating and refereeing also added to the spectacle.
We would like to say that football
