The Brisbane Inner West Patrol Group launched the Community Camera Alliance today. The Community Camera Alliance is a voluntary closed circuit television (CCTV) registration program.
This initiative aims to promote the positive relationship between the community and police by encouraging the registration of CCTV systems located in residential and business environments across the Brisbane Inner West Patrol Group in order to prevent crime and make the community safer. It will also enhance investigative capacity and increase community engagement through the establishment of a voluntary CCTV registration system on the QPS database, QPRIME.
CCTV has become a crucial investigative tool in modern day policing. CCTV vision is regularly used to investigate and solve serious crime and is invaluable when used as evidence. The use of CCTV can potentially reduce investigation time resulting in swifter outcomes.
Registration is open to any individual, owner or operator of a CCTV system across the Brisbane Inner West Patrol Group.

Removed screws from vehicles at Ashgrove Golf Club
Inner West Crime Prevention attended the Ashgrove Golf Club today to attached one way screws to almost 40 vehicles.
Thanks to the outstanding efforts of our wonderful Volunteers in Policing and also to the members of the Ashgrove Golf Club for hosting us.
There are a number of strategies to reduce the likelihood of thieves stealing number plates:

park your vehicle in a well lit highly visible area, preferably a supervised car park rather than on the street;
park your vehicle inside your garage or yard and lock the gate or door; and
use non-reversible one-way screws to attach number plates to the vehicle (contact crime prevention for supply details).

Inner West Crime Prevention will be at shopping centres in the area over the next few weeks attaching one way screws for free.

With the opportunity to gain first-hand insights into issues surrounding DV in LGBTI communities around the world, Senior Constable Ben Bjarnesen’s recent visit overseas has been nothing but invaluable.
As one of the recipients of the 2016 Churchill Fellowship Recipient, Ben was able to conduct research by working closely with international police jurisdictions across four countries.
Ben with the Chief of Washington DC Police
He met with seven police departments and 15 community support organisations last year, with the aim of better understanding and documenting domestic violence issues in LGBTI communities, as well as capturing best practice in policing responses.
“We are all aware that domestic violence is quite an issue within the general community but it can be more so within the LGBTI community and it is often under-reported,” Ben said.
“Internationally, it appears the most common factor stopping LGBTI people from reporting DV and hate crimes is historical events involving negative interactions with

Detectives from Ferny Grove Criminal Investigation Branch are investigating the overnight armed robbery of a Mitchelton hotel.
Around midnight a man entered the Osbourne Road business and demanded money from the duty manager. He fled on foot a soon after with a sum of cash, and was last seen heading north towards Teralba Park.
The man is described as Caucasian, aged in his early 20s, approximately 185cms tall with a slim build, dark hair (cropped haircut). He was wearing blue runners, dark skin tight long pants with a pattern, a long sleeved shirt with dark sleeves and a white vest. The man was carrying a metal bar.
No one was physically injured.

Police are seeking witnesses or information about an unlawful use of motor vehicle that occurred in Samford Road, Enoggera between March 12 at 3pm and March 13 at 7am.
A  yellow 2000 Ducati 748r motorcycle bearing Queensland registration 817JB was stolen from a unit complex underground car park.
Police would like to remind the community when it comes to security, high-rise buildings and apartments are just as vulnerable as houses. Poor security habits can put a whole building at risk.
Most offenders are opportunists, searching for quick, easy entry and exit points.
Recently we have had a number of offences in the Ferny Grove division where offenders are gaining entry to secured car parks. They are then entering vehicles and storage cages and stealing property.
Of concern is that residents are leaving valuable items such as unit keys and building access cards in their vehicles.
It is important that all valuable items are removed from vehicles.
