Who is Queensland Police Pipes and Drums biggest fan?
Queensland Police Pipes and Drums biggest fan, Tim!
Tim Maloney from the Gap, of course!
Tim is a great fan of the Queensland Police Pipes and Drums (QPP&D) and has managed to see them perform on a few occasions.
Some years ago his mum, Colleen, ordered him a copy of the pipes and drums CD and it has completely worn out from being overplayed.
Colleen reached out to the QPP&D this month to purchase a new one, and boy, did the band deliver!
Despite the CD no longer being available, there were still a couple in the library, so a new CD and a couple of other goodies were packaged up and delivered in time for Tim’s birthday on Wednesday.
It was a fantastic birthday surprise for the band’s biggest fan!
Colleen said that Tim was so excited to receive the parcel and will have many enjoyable hours listening to his CD.
“Thank you very much for making

Changing perspectives on property crime – home security
There are often typical circumstances which occur prior to a home being burgled. A burglar will usually act on easy or tempting opportunities, especially when it is evident no one is home or the risk of being caught is low.
What you can do:
Ensure doors are always locked with a key, even when you are home.
Ensure that all external doors, including your garage, of your home are solid and fitted with quality deadlocks.
Consider fitting security screen doors, designed and installed to Australian Standards.
Install a door viewer that allows you to see the person before you open the door.
Fit secure locks to your windows which meet Australian Standards and never leave the keys in the window lock.
Ensure security grills and shutters are properly installed and allow an exit in case of an emergency.
Consider installing an intruder alarm system and security camera system that covers all external doors, windows and garage. Ensure the
