The summer squad of local police will be stepping up their patrols of waterways, public areas and tourist spots to keep people safe over the holiday season.
Brisbane Water Police were out on the water around Brisbane Water last weekend conducting breath testing and boat safety checks to ensure boat and personal water craft users were adhering to maritime law.
Earlier this month Detective Superintendent Chad Gillies, Commander Tuggerah Lakes Police District also launched the Summer Squad in the northern part of the Coast.
“There will be additional police to what we would normally have out and about to proactively patrol our public spaces to complement the great work done by General Duties and our proactive crime team,” he said.
“You’ll be seeing more blue uniforms in and around our tourist areas such as The Entrance and more police around our public areas to support local businesses, the local residents, to make sure everyone can enjoy our beautiful spaces as safe as possible.”
