A mobile police beat will boost police presence and strengthen frontline interaction as part of a new local policing strategy announced for the Sunshine Coast community.
Police Minister Mark Ryan and Member for Caloundra Jason Hunt joined Acting Superintendent John Van Egmond today in announcing the deployment of the vehicle to parts of the southern Sunshine Coast.
Minister Ryan said the Queensland Police Service intends to deploy mobile police beats anywhere, anytime to ensure a highly visible police presence where and when they are operationally needed.
