Secure your motor vehicle this weekend
As we continue to have motor vehicles stolen and broken into, police are looking for local residents to get on board and give them a hand in combating these offences.
There are very simple and inexpensive security measures that residents can employ to make sure that they are less likely to be a victim of property crime.
One of these security measures is to fit your number plates with anti theft screws. The screws make stealing of number plates a lot more difficult.
Police and NHW groups will be at Taigum Square Shopping Centre to fit the screws for free between 9 and 11 am this Sunday, October 28th
Simply look for the NHW information booth in the car park off Church Road and take the opportunity to speak to local Police, Volunteers In Policing and of course your local NHW group about how we can work together to reduce motor vehicle related offences.

60 seconds is all we need
A lot can happen in a minute. That minute can be powerful. In 60 seconds we have the power to change opinions, behaviours and lives, for the better.
Queensland Police want you to be a part of this life changing project – The 60 Seconds Project.
Police from North Brisbane District are launching their ‘60 Seconds’ Project, with the support of the North Brisbane Community Policing Board.
The project calls for community members from North Brisbane, to create a 60 second video on the topic of domestic and family violence. Domestic violence occurs within all cultures, demographics, socio-economic and age groups, within intimate personal relationships including same sex relationships. It does not discriminate and requires a unified community response to help reduce instances.
Participants are urged to be creative when developing a video to help survivors of domestic and family violence, raise awareness and prevent domestic and family violence in the future.
