Sandgate on Sunday is the place to be for bike safety and security

Thousands of bicycles are stolen every day around Australia.
Many of these bikes are found by police but most bicycle owners never see their bikes again simply because the bicycle has not been marked and the owner cannot be identified.
Bikes that have been well secured with a good quality bicycle lock can be stolen by determined thieves.
There are a number of ways you can reduce the risk of having your bike stolen, prevent the opportunity for stealing your bike and steps you can take to recover your bike if it is stolen.

Road Safety reminder for Hendra Schools

As all of our local schools return from the spring break, Hendra Police have been performing high visibility patrols in and around our school zones.
Expect to see police enforcing vehicle speeds as our little ones head back to school this week.
This is just one of our strategies to reduce potential road crash fatalities and hospitalisations.
Drivers are urged to monitor their behaviours and switch back on to where your local 40km/h school zones are and plan your route accordingly.
Our local station storm chaser, indicates that rain is forecast towards the later part of the week.

U4Ks returning back to our local community

School holidays can be a tough time for many parents and children.
But for the children who are victims to domestic and family violence, it can be an especially challenging time as their ‘normal’ routine is  broken, and they spend a larger amount of time in their home environment, which can be full of anger, unhealthy relationships and not a time of rest.
This school holidays the North Brisbane ‘Vulnerable Persons Unit’ were part of a team that took a group of 19 children away for a fun camp experience.
They had a couple of nights away from their home environment and got to take part in outdoor activities, have healthy meals prepared for them and be surrounded by  staff who can empathise and support them in their journey.
Our lovely Uniforms4Kids volunteer sewer, Maria, put together some beautiful clothes for the children to wear whilst on their camp.
U4Ks clothes are always made with

A form is then left on the windscreen of each vehicle providing the owner with additional security tips in an aim to reduce the risk of the vehicle either being broken into and items stolen or the vehicle itself being stolen.
Many drivers are shocked to learn that even small items such as loose change, sunglasses and personal mail can be enough to entice an opportunistic offender to enter the vehicle.
