This new campaign uses mixed media including the 360° format and flyers on social media to put users in a criminal’s perspective and point out every day behaviours which can increase the likelihood of Queenslanders falling victim to opportunistic crime.
Acting Inspector Joanna Stone, Manager of Crime Prevention Programs Unit said crime prevention was every Queenslander’s responsibility and campaigns such as this, allowed the QPS to educate around crime prevention habits.

“Too often, property crime is the result of opportunistic criminals receiving a helping hand from unsuspecting Queenslanders, whether that be through a wallet left on the front seat of a car or a back door left unlocked.
