Operation Papa Newfoundland 3 was a combined operation utilising staff from state and local traffic units, Drug Detection dogs, officers from the Centenary and Inner West Patrol Groups and the Queensland Department of Transport Vehicle Inspectors to close down a lane of the Centenary Motorway with a focus on driver safety, vehicle road worthiness and to deter drug and drink driving.

Overall, the operation was successful with quantities of drugs being seized and charges laid with regards to drink and drug driving, unlicensed driving, drug supply, drug possession and other offences.
A number of vehicles were also defected due to mechanical issues.

The Drug Detector police dog had a 100% success rate in detection and the overall sentiment from the public was positive towards the activity by police.

Today Commissioner Ian Stewart announced the R U in Control? campaign, aimed at empowering Queenslanders and helping them avoid becoming a victim of cyber and financial crime.
The Commissioner said it had been estimated that organised crime costs the Australian economy $21 billion per year with $8.5 billion of that figure directly related to cyber, identity and corporate crime.
“While police and other agencies work to prevent these crimes and apprehend those who target vulnerable Queenslanders, it is important we fight this battle as a united front and take the control back from these fraudsters and scammers,” Commissioner Stewart said.
“Too many Queensland businesses and individuals are being targeted by criminals stealing data for use in other crimes or holding businesses to ransom for large sums of money.
“We are also seeing vulnerable Queenslanders targeted daily with cold call investment scams, malicious emails and fake website scams,” Commissioner Stewart said.

On Saturday, August 12, the Queensland Police Rugby League Association hosted a charity rugby league game to help raise money for the Brett Forte Remembrance Fund.
At 5pm the siren sounded at Carina Football Stadium where 3,500 people came to their feet and cheered on the QPS Dream Team who were lead onto the paddock by Brett Forte’s youngest son, Samuel Forte, and the QPS All Stars Team who were lead out by older brother, Brodie Forte.
Brodie’s coin toss saw the winning call come from the Dream Team Captain, Senior Constable Hayden Lea.
The crowd remained on their feet for a minute silence with Suzie Forte joining the boys on the field.
The refs blew their whistle and the game was underway in earnest.
The Dream Team were directed around the paddock by Queensland legend Scott Prince and scored the first try.

Help us turn the screws on number plate thefts by taking the opportunity to have tamper proof screws fitted to your plates.
Taking this simple step helps not only reduce the theft of number plates but also reduces the incidence of flow on offences where false number plates are used. These offences can include petrol drive offs, break and enters, traffic offences and armed robberies.
Having one-way screws on your car’s registration plates is especially encouraged if you regularly park your vehicle in shopping centres, train stations or leave your vehicle parked in the street.
Our next one-way screws event is happening next week:

When:
Wednesday, August 23 from 9am to 12pm

Where:
Arana Hills PCYC, 135a Olearia Street West, Everton Hills (in the car park)

Police will remove your number plates and re-attach them with one-way screws so the plates can only then be removed with a special ‘un-do-it’ tool.
There is no cost to you to have the screws placed onto

Police wish to provide the following advice from the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) on the recreational use of drones/remotely piloted aircraft in/over Ekka grounds:

No night flying;
No flying over people;
No flying closer than 30m to people laterally;
No flying within 500 meters of a helicopter landing site;
No flying above 400FT at the Ekka as this is a controlled airspace;
No flying beyond visual line of sight – this means the ability to locate, orientate and navigate with the naked eye (no FPV); and
No flying in a manner which could be deemed unsafe or hazardous to people, property or other airspace users.

If a drone is spotted, police will be tasked to locate the owner and their details will be taken and provided to CASA for further investigation.
For more information about flying drones/remotely piloted aircraft, visit the CASA website here: www.casa.gov.au/aircraft/landing-page/flying-drones-australia, or head to our ‘Technology in the sky’ display in the Queensland Government
