Police Build Better Relationships in Logan City

  • Rod Stephen is a former television journalist and has worked as Foreign Editor for the Seven Network, Australian Bureau Chief for TV3 New Zealand, UK correspondent for Seven and ABC radio and as a producer for Reuters TV in London as well as SBS in Sydney and Melbourne before returning to Brisbane to work at 4BC.

Police in Logan City are now actively working on building better relationships with high school and primary school students.

Police officers are based in several high schools, including Mabel Park, Woodridge, Loganlea, Kingston, Marsden, Beenleigh and Flagstone State Community College.

Each officer can generally be contacted through the administration office during school hours.

The school-based officers provide a point of contact, always exercising discretion and confidentiality.

On the other hand, Adopt-A-Cops, operate on a voluntary basis visiting primary schools to educate school children about the laws in Queensland and the duties of a police officer.

A number of topics that may be discussed or presented include personal safety, bullying and road safety.

Adopt-A-Cops may attend key school events, address school parades, coordinate and represent the Queensland Police Service at relevant events, conduct informal ‘drop in’ visits and attend meetings or school excursions and camps.
