Have you met your local police officers yet?
On the first Tuesday of every month, police from the Boondall Police Station, along with Crime Stoppers, and our Volunteers In Policing (VIP’s) attend Taigum Shopping Centre from 10am to 11am to give local community members an opportunity to ask any questions they might have, and get to know their local police a bit better…. and of course, enjoy a latte!
The majority of contact that QPS officers have with the public happen during emergencies, or emotional situations.
Those situations are not always the most effective times for relationship building with the community, and because of this, some community members may feel that officers are unapproachable on the street.
Coffee with a Cop breaks down these barriers and allows for a relaxed, one-on-one interaction.
We hope that community members will feel comfortable to ask questions, bring concerns, or simply get to know our officers at these events.
