Unfortunately Easter is a notorious time for road crashes in Queensland.
The QPS with the support of other emergency services is currently coordinating a state-wide traffic policing operation designed to reduce the number of serious injuries, fatal traffic crashes and road related crime.
At the April 5 launch of the Easter road safety campaign Commissioner Stewart said research has shown that a high police presence on major road networks during peak holiday periods provided the community with reassurance and served as a deterrent to those engaging in high-risk behaviour.
“Anyone travelling on the state’s highways can expect to encounter police during this period,” Commissioner Stewart said.
“Officers will be out in force conducting roadside testing for drugs and alcohol, as well as covert and overt speed enforcement in high-risk zones.”
QFES Assistant Commissioner Neil Gallant said that QFES members are trained to respond to traffic incidents, however it is the type of event that is

For almost 20 years now, the Queensland Police Service has partnered with Stefan’s and the MASKs foundation to deliver chocolate eggs at Easter and toys at Christmas to the Queensland Children’s Hospital.
Lined up and ready to go.
Today, almost 30 Road Policing Bikes made the convoy from Stefan’s Jo Jos restaurant in South Brisbane to the Children’s Hospital and spent the morning meeting the kids and handing out chocolates and toys.
These Road Policing Unit officers came from far and wide from the Sunshine Coast, right down to the Gold Coast and out to Ipswich, in support of this great event.
Commissioner Stewart thanking the officers taking part in the convoy.
Commissioner Stewart was in attendance today and said he had been proud to attend this event for the last six years as Commissioner, supporting the QPS and MASKs foundation giving back to the community.

The Queensland Police Service and other emergency services are urging Queenslander’s to drive sensibly and responsibly this Easter.
Due to the roads being busier than usual, motorists should take extra care while driving.
Locals and visitors to the area can expect to be sharing our roads.
All motorists need to show patience and care when overtaking or passing these vehicles.
The Easter road safety campaign is targeting the Fatal Five – speeding, drink/drug driving, fatigue, seat belt use and driver distraction/inattention.
Critical care paramedic Sandra Cowley from Queensland Ambulance Service wants to remind Queenslander’s to drive safe over the holiday break.
“My message for people at Easter, at any time, is to drive safe. Remember the Fatal Five. I say it’s not worth killing for, it’s not worth dying for. Get there safely,” Sandra said.

Just after 5.30am, police were called to a yacht which was fully engulfed by the fire.
