Police welcome families to North Brisbane

North Brisbane Police and Liaison Officers regularly welcome newly settles families to our area.
We participate in a program called Lifeskills where we explain the role of police in Queensland as well as provide tips on driver licence requirements, road rules and provide personal safety.
The program is a valuable tool for local Police in creating a positive interaction with our newly arrived families who come from all over the world. For many families their previous experiences with Police has been less than desirable. Through these visits we show that Queensland is a wonderful and safe state with a police service they can trust.
Our most recent group of families come from Iraq, Syria, Myanmar and Ethiopia and were all grateful for our visit and eager to have their photos taken with us.
The program is run by the Multicultural Development Association out of the Zillmere Community Centre and Zillmere PCYC.

Stolen wheelchair, Bracken Ridge

Police are appealing for public assistance to help locate a wheelchair stolen from a young boy in Bracken Ridge on May 4.
Between 11.15pm and 11.35pm, car keys and other items were stolen from an Evergreen Street property, along with a grey Nissan XTrail which had a wheelchair in the rear.
The stolen vehicle was later located in Caboolture on May 5, however, the wheelchair was not inside the car and may have been dumped between Bracken Ridge and Caboolture.
The wheelchair (pictured) belongs to the family of a six-year-old boy who suffers from a medical condition, and replacing it would take six months at a cost of $3000.
The wheelchair is used to help the boy avoid muscle fatigue and prevent muscle loss.
Police are encouraging anyone who saw or heard suspicious, or who may have dashcam footage, to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
