And that’s a wrap- The 60 Seconds Project
Today our 60 Seconds project, focusing on the topic of Family and Domestic violence, was wrapped up with the official awards ceremony for our winners.
Held at North Brisbane District Office, Police and Community Policing Board members welcomed our place winners for morning tea and prize presentation.
To recap, the 60 Seconds Project called for young people under the age of 18 to develop a 60 second video on the topic of family and domestic violence. We asked them to tell us how it affects them, how they see it and how we can impact the incidences of domestic and family violence. They did it and they did it exceptionally well.
Entries were received from far and wide, and we were astounded by the talent and insight of such young people.
Happy place winners
Our first prize winner Lia, moved us this morning with a live rendition of her slam poem. What a talent! As
Traffic operation, Everton Park
On February 28, Ferny Grove Police in partnership with the local Road Policing Unit and the Roadside Drug Testing Unit, conducted a significant roadside drug and alcohol testing operation within Everton Park.
Eight officers stopped and breath tested 400 drivers and drug tested 17 drivers which resulted in seven traffic infringement notices and three notice to appears issued for traffic matters.
It is important for the community to remember that police will intercept drivers for the purpose of a roadside breath or drug test any time, day or night. If you intend to consume alcohol, then don’t drive. You are putting yourself and other road users at risk and you will be caught.
Ferny Grove Police would like to thank the drivers on the day that were subject to the operation for their patience. We are committed to ensuring the safety of everyone on our roads.

Inner West police and their UQ Malaysian student association
On February 24, police from the Inner West Crime Prevention Unit were invited by the University Queensland Malaysian Student Association (UQMSA) to be guest speakers during the induction of new Malaysian students enrolling into the University of Queensland (UQ) Campus at St Lucia.
UQMSA is an official and non profit student body based at the UQ St Lucia campus. UQMSA welcome individuals from a diverse range of backgrounds regardless of nationality to join in with their actives. Through their promotion of Malaysian culture via fun filled social and educational activities, UQMSA strive to offer their members a vibrant campus culture and community experience. UQMSA motto is ‘Bring a piece of home to you‘ and a ‘Home away from home‘.
During their presentation police encouraged positive interactions with QPS and promoted the services police could provide to them as international students and residents of Queensland. Other topics covered included property security and personal protective behaviours and strategies to be utilised while on campus, out in the general community and at home.

Police reinforce ‘if it’s flooded, forget it’ message
With heavy rain falling across large parts of the state today, police are urging motorists to drive to conditions and heed the message: if it’s flooded, forget it.
A number of drivers were rescued after proceeding through flooded roads in the Wide Bay area yesterday.
As the rain moves further south, police are warning drivers particularly around the Sunshine Coast, Caboolture and Brisbane areas to slow down, turn their headlights on and increase their stopping distance.
Under severe storms or heavy rain bands, flash flooding can occur very quickly and without any notice – even on roads that you usually travel on without any issues.
Flash flooding can cause significant structural damage to roads, so even if you think it looks safe, you can never be sure exactly what is underneath the water.
No matter what car you drive, no matter what bike you ride, no matter what shoes you wear – if it’s flooded,
