Member for Nanango, Deb Frecklington has congratulated Kingaroy Police Officer in Charge, Snr Sgt Dave Tierney on the launch of the Community Camera Alliance for the township.
Mrs Frecklington said the initiative had been successfully introduced in many other towns around Queensland and it was great to see it starting in Kingaroy.
“The Community Camera Alliance aims to create community confidence and a stronger relationship between the police and residents,” Mrs Frecklington said.
“I would really like to congratulate and thank Snr Sgt Tierney and his team for taking this positive step in helping to tackle crime in our region.
“Our local Police Officers do an amazing job and this register of local CCTV cameras will definitely assist in crime detection and prevention.
“The Police Minister has to realise however that while our community welcomes this initiative, we still need more Police permanently assigned to the South Burnett.
“Crime rates in our region continue to be a very concerning issue for our residents and I will continue to fight for more Police for our region,” Deb said.
