On Sunday, October 13, police from the North Brisbane Crime Prevention Unit joined Sandgate Neighbourhood Watch (NHW) groups to host a bicycle identification and bicycle safety event at the foreshore at Sandgate.
It was a great opportunity for Queensland Police Service (QPS) officers, Volunteer in Policing (VIP) and the NHW members to interact with community members and families that utilise this beautiful part of Brisbane.
We had a large number of people stop to have the serial numbers of their bicycles registered on the QPS computer system.
In the event their bicycles are stolen, this recording of their serial numbers against their personal details makes the return of property to the correct owner much easier for police.
Members of the public were also able to grab some refreshing fresh fruit and a cool drink while they obtained information brochures on bicycle safety, Brisbane City Council booklet ‘Riding in Brisbane’, and other bicycle related information.
