School is out for summer and police are asking for your help.
Unattended schools provide an opportunity for criminal activity and may become targets for vandalism, unlawful entry, arson, stealing, graffiti and property damage – all of which become a cost to the community.
To combat this problem, schools participate in School Watch, a partnership between Education Queensland, the Queensland Police Service and State Government Protective Security Service.
The motto of the program is ‘Look, Listen and Report’ so we ask you to report any suspicious activity in and around schools to School Watch on 13 17 88 or to Policelink on 131 444.
However, if a crime is actually in progress, do not intervene and immediately telephone 000 (Triple Zero) to report the matter.
Together, we can make a difference!
If you have information for police, contact Policelink on 131 444 or provide information using the online form 24hrs per day.
You can report information about crime anonymously to Crime Stoppers, a registered charity and community volunteer organisation, by calling 1800 333 000 or via crimestoppersqld.com.au 24hrs per day.
