Member for Macalister, Melissa McMahon has announced work will start on a new police facility to be located in a future justice precinct in Beenleigh.
This is on top of the 2,025 extra police personnel over five years, and part of the State Government’s $300 million police infrastructure pipeline delivering new and improved police facilities, and 900 jobs across Queensland.
“Not only are we building new and upgraded police facilities here in the Beenleigh, we’re supporting jobs for local workers at a time when jobs and job security are more important than ever,” Ms McMahon said.
“These new projects in the police infrastructure pipeline are an investment in the people who live and work in the Macalister electorate.
“They are an investment in their future.”
Ms McMahon said the new infrastructure projects follow an historic investment in policing in the Macalister electorate and across the South East.
The State Government has also announced 150 additional police would be deployed to the South Eastern Police Region over the next five years.
Ms McMahon also welcomed the announcement of a mobile police beat van for the Logan Police District.
“The new mobile police beat van will be able to be deployed across the Logan-Beenleigh area,” she said.
“These mobile police beat vans will take police into the heart of our local communities, which means people will see more police more often.
“From these mobile police beats police will be able to take crime reports, victims’ statements, conduct field interviews and above all, boost safety with a more visible police presence.”
