Warmer weather leads to more break and enters
Warmer months often lead to an increase in break and enter offences to residential properties as residents become complacent about securing doors and windows in an effort to cool down.
Most house-breaks appear to be crimes of opportunity, with entry often gained through an open or unlocked door or window. In many other circumstances, minimal effort is used to gain entry, for example via poor quality door locks.
It is important to remember that our aim is not to turn the home, unit or apartment into a fortress or a prison. We are, however, attempting to make the home resistant to entry by opportunistic offenders.
Queensland Police Service provides a free Home Security Audit Service, contact Ferny Grove Crime Prevention on 3872 1542 or Indooroopilly Crime Prevention on 3377 9421 to make a booking.
We’re not kidding ourselves thinking that we are solving the worlds problems with this information – but any information regarding

Inner West Police support Festival On The Hill
On Saturday September 2, police from the Inner West Patrol Group attended the Chapel Hill State Primary School Festival on the Hill to conduct proactive community engagement and provide police support to this popular community event.
During the event, police took the opportunity to promote road safety to the junior members of the public.
Topics discussed included not distracting mum and dad whilst they were driving, being a safe and responsible passenger by wearing their seat belts at all times and not placing any portion of their body outside the window of a vehicle.
Police also took the opportunity to break down the barriers and fear of young members being afraid of Police.
This was achieved by talking to them in the company of their parents and explaining that the Police were their friends and were there to help them when they were in need.
