There are about 30 School Based Police Officers throughout the State and between us we cover approximately 50 state high schools. Our main role is to establish positive relationships between students and police. We contribute to establishing a safe and supportive learning environment for students; conduct crime prevention activities within school; investigate crime activities within school and the school community; provide a police resource in school; delivering lectures and providing information on law, police duties and other related topics which support the school curriculum; and participate in student activities such as excursions and camps.

Crime Stoppers
A telephone hotline for information about any criminal activity. You the caller need not give your name and are known only by a code number. Remaining anonymous allows you to overcome any fear of involvement or retaliation. Your call is not recorded or taped. Only you know who gave information – you are not identified in any way. If an arrest follows, you may be eligible to claim a reward of up to $1,000. Even when collecting a reward you remain anonymous! Rewards are paid for from the monies raised from the general and business communities.
For more information visit the Crime Stoppers site or ring toll free 1800 333 000.

Party safe
Everyone enjoys going to or hosting a party. For young people it is certainly a part of growing up and celebrating special occasions with your friends. While most parties are fun for everyone involved, intoxicated guests or gate crashers can sometimes ruin the occasion. This information provides some ideas to assist in holding successful, enjoyable and safe parties for everyone concerned including parents, hosts and guest.
Registering your party with police provides police with the opportunity to supply you with advice and resources to help in organising a safe and lawful party. It also ensures that if things do go wrong on the night, police have the information necessary to quickly and effectively deal with any issues. For details on how to register your party download the Party Safe Registration Form from the Qld Police website.
