Tighten your belt or pay the price!

Riding without a seatbelt is far from a ‘cheap’ thrill when you’re dealing with potential costs of life and safety – not to mention a $391 fine.
Whether you’re a driver or passenger you must by law wear your seatbelt in a vehicle.
If you don’t, you face a fine of $391 and three demerit points as a driver, or passenger aged 16 years or older.
Drivers can also be fined and lose points for every passenger in the vehicle who isn’t buckled up – that adds up to a huge cost and potential loss of licence.
The responsibility for making sure everyone in the car is wearing a seatbelt lies with the driver of the vehicle.
A seatbelt is vital for protection in a collision or accident, as it holds the occupant in place, preventing additional harm and keeping them in the right position for an airbag to deploy effectively.
Queensland Police Service Assistant Commissioner

In many cases, the victims have been told to purchase large sums of gift vouchers as a form of payment.
Police in Maryborough were notified of a 40-year-old local woman who presented herself to the local police station, after she received a threatening phone call.
In this case, the ‘scammers’ requested payment through Google Play gift vouchers.

The victim was asked to purchase iTunes and Google Play gift vouchers.

Argos appeal to parents on Safer Internet Day 2019

This morning the Minister for Police and Corrective Services Mark Ryan MP joined the Queensland Police Service to deliver an important message to all parents, caregivers and educators as part of Safer Internet Day.
“The investigators within Queensland Police Service’s Argos and child protection officers across the state do a job not many of us could. They investigate internet facilitated crimes against children,” Minister Ryan said.
“Over the years, the team has seen the worst crimes and witnessed these atrocities captured across hundreds and thousands of images and videos. They have seen the pain, the trauma and the suffering. They have seen it all.
“But that’s their job and I would be joined by many people in suggesting the world is a better place because of people like them. It is because of their sheer hard work and dedication that so many children across the world have been removed from harm and saved
