Wide Bay residents can now request a Mobile Police Beat be deployed to their local area as part of a new 'Bring the Beat' police engagement program.
Following a successful trial in Townsville and Brisbane, Bring the Beat will help inform police where community members and business owners would like to see a greater police presence.
Community members can request a Mobile Police Beat to be deployed to a preferred location as needed, providing greater access and support from policing resources as well as a high-visibility presence in hotspots.
Officers attached to the 'police station on wheels' will be able to discuss local crime issues and provide crime prevention and general advice to local residents and business owners.
Members of the public in Wide Bay can now submit a form online on their local myPolice webpage and request the deployment of the Mobile Police Beat.
All requests for mobile police beat deployments will be considered in conjunction with current intelligence and operational demands.
