‘Police Station On Wheels’
Returns To The Burdekin
Home Hill and Ayr Police Stations have been working hard to put together a Community Connection initiative.
A part of this initiative will be the deployment of the QPS Mobile Police Beat (MPB).
The MPB is a significant move towards bolstering community safety and accessibility to law enforcement services.
This state-of-the-art mobile police station, dubbed the ‘police station on wheels,’ provides a high visibility police presence, which can be strategically deployed at short notice where needed most, responding to changes in crime, trends and community concerns.
Local Police and Townsville Crime prevention officers will be there on the day helping with Crime prevention advice and listening to the community concerns and any queries they may have.
So, bring along the family for a chat.
The MPB will be back in the Burdekin on Saturday April 27, set up at IGA Home Hill from 8:30am to 11am and then at Woolworths Ayr from 11:30am to 2pm.
