From today until April 26, the QPS will coordinate a state-wide traffic policing operation designed to reduce the number of serious injuries, fatal traffic crashes and road related crime.
This operation coincides with the Easter school holidays and a period in which there is an increase in vehicles using Queensland roads.
The Easter Road Safety Campaign will include strategies such as a highly visible police presence on highways and roads, targeted operations at locations where an increase in road users is likely and static and mobile roadside driver testing regarding alcohol and/or drugs with a focus on locations more likely to be carrying high volumes of road users.

On Saturday March 30, police and Sudanese men from across North Brisbane Police District took part in the ‘HE’ part of the latest She.He.We. program.
‘HE’ program stands for ‘Hear Me, Empower Me’ and the program aims to bridge the gap and build positive relationships between the Queensland Police Service and the local Sudanese community.
This particular ‘HE’ workshop was celebrated with elders and emerging young men from local Sudanese and South Sudanese communities.
Throughout the workshop, we were able to speak openly in a safe place, share experiences and officers were genuinely interested in learning Sudanese customs and culture.
By sharing our experiences and raising awareness we identified that the Sudanese community experiences were not so different for all of us as community members.
The workshop also had the pleasure of The Honourable Stirling Hinchliffe MP, Minister for Local Government, Minister for Racing and Minister for Multicultural Affairs attend.
Minster Hinchliffe spoke to participants sharing

Keep up with the rules!
Over the past few months you would have noticed a steady rise in the number of people taking advantage of personal mobility devices such as e-scooters.
While rideables make it easier to travel around the Brisbane CBD and surrounding suburbs, it is important to remember that you must comply with Queensland Government rules when using mobility devices.
The Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) has launched a new Rideable Rules campaign to educate the community about their responsibilities when using a mobility device.
The main rules to keep in mind are:

Be at least 16 years of age, or 12 with adult supervision
Wear an approved bicycle helmet, that is securely fitted, at all times (unless an exemption has been granted for medical or religious reasons)
Not carry passengers
Not use a mobile device
Not drink and ride
Have a working flashing or steady white light on the front, and a red light and reflector at
