Working Together To Solve Crime: After the carnage of the storms over the Christmas/New Year period, 2024 has shown a noted increase in burglary incidents and thefts from vehicles within the North Tamborine Police Division.

It's essential for community members to remain vigilant and take steps to safeguard their properties and vehicles from potential crime. Simple measures like ensuring your windows and doors of your home and vehicles are locked, even when you are at home, can significantly reduce the risk of becoming a victim. Remember, crime prevention and community safety are collective responsibilities.
An innovative and effective crime prevention approach is the Community Camera Alliance Program. This initiative fosters collaboration between the community and the Queensland Police Service (QPS) by encouraging residents to register their CCTV systems. While CCTV systems were traditionally associated with businesses, advancements in technology have made them more accessible for residential use. CCTV footage has become an invaluable tool for law enforcement in investigating and resolving various crimes.
Registering your CCTV system aids investigators by streamlining the process of locating potential evidence during investigations. When registered, your voluntary participation will be securely stored in the QPS's database, QPRIME, accessible only to authorised personnel.
