My Story: Sergeant Jaye Lilley, Dog Squad
You might not think having your co-worker with you 24/7 sounds ideal, but for Sergeant Jaye Lilley it’s an important part of her dream job.
Former Senior Constable, now Sergeant Lilley works side-by-side with man’s best friend to fight crime with the Brisbane Dog Squad.

“Choosing the dog squad is a lifestyle choice,” Sergeant Lilley said.
“They live at home with us. They become part of your family. The dog relies on you and we rely on the dog for the results.”
Sergeant Lilley joined the QPS in 2006, at age 26.
From early on in her training Sergeant Lilley had a pretty good idea she wanted to end up in the dog squad, but it was a long road to get there.
First, she had to finish her recruit training, then her First Year Constable work with six months at Petrie and six months at Sandgate before she secured a permanent posting at
Turning the screws on crime, Kenmore
Inner West Police with Shed West members
Recently there have been a number of unauthorised entries to motor vehicles within the Inner West Police District which have included the theft of number plates.
Some of these stolen number plates have been used in other criminal offences across Brisbane, such as fuel drive offs.
On Tuesday, June 18, members from the Shed West at Kenmore participated in a turning the screws on crime event by having anti-theft number plate screws fitted to their private vehicles.
The fitment of the one-way security screws to registration number plates physically prevents the unlawful removal of number plates and their subsequent unlawful use in other offences.
Inner West Patrol Group crime prevention officers maintain a close working relationship with many community groups within the Inner West Division, such as Shed West.
These groups are very proactive with their security encouragement and actively engage with police to promote crime prevention education and

As kids we play the game “cops and robbers”, but very few people get to live the game in reality.
For Plain Clothes Senior Constable (PCSC) Christopher Cronin from the Mount Isa Criminal Investigation Branch, that’s exactly what he does.
“I joined the police in 2010 as a general duties police officer. It took me three years to get a position as an investigator in the Criminal Investigation Branch.”
“It’s something that took a lot of work and I dedicated a lot of hours to. It wasn’t just something that fell into my lap.”
Positioned in Mount Isa, which is a part of the Northern Region, PCSC Cronin is passionate about improving crime rates for the local community.
“One of the things that I look forward to in Mount Isa is obviously helping people.

Queensland Police Service (QPS) General Duties officers are the people on the front line every day, patrolling our communities and responding in times of need.
Senior Constable Jasmine Rayner, now a plain clothes officer working in Brisbane, has previously served the people of the Gold Coast in the Rapid Action Patrols (RAP) unit, and is passionate about her work.
“The reason I joined the QPS was because I wanted to make a difference in the community,” Senior Constable Rayner said.
After her academy training, she spent her first year at Redcliffe Police Station.
“I was really lucky there. They had some really good field training officers. They showed me the ropes.”
When she was posted to the Gold Coast, Senior Constable Rayner decided to volunteer for a transfer to the RAP unit, known for its ‘hub policing’ team.
As General Duties officers have the option of specialising, Senior Constable Rayner chose to work in

Police recommend the following simple personal security measures and strategies be utilised when either withdrawing, receiving and handling monies in public places and venues:
