And that’s a wrap- The 60 Seconds Project

Today our 60 Seconds project, focusing on the topic of Family and Domestic violence, was wrapped up with the official awards ceremony for our winners.
Held at North Brisbane District Office, Police and Community Policing Board members welcomed our place winners for morning tea and prize presentation.
To recap, the 60 Seconds Project called for young people under the age of 18 to develop a 60 second video on the topic of family and domestic violence. We asked them to tell us how it affects them, how they see it and how we can impact the incidences of domestic and family violence. They did it and they did it exceptionally well.
Entries were received from far and wide, and we were astounded by the talent and insight of such young people.
Happy place winners
Our first prize winner Lia, moved us this morning with a live rendition of her slam poem. What a talent! As

Traffic operation, Everton Park

On February 28, Ferny Grove Police in partnership with the local Road Policing Unit and the Roadside Drug Testing Unit, conducted a significant roadside drug and alcohol testing operation within Everton Park.
Eight officers stopped and breath tested 400 drivers and drug tested 17 drivers which resulted in seven traffic infringement notices and three notice to appears issued for traffic matters.
It is important for the community to remember that police will intercept drivers for the purpose of a roadside breath or drug test any time, day or night. If you intend to consume alcohol, then don’t drive. You are putting yourself and other road users at risk and you will be caught.
Ferny Grove Police would like to thank the drivers on the day that were subject to the operation for their patience. We are committed to ensuring the safety of everyone on our roads.
