Community, faith, cultural and religious leaders stood alongside Queensland Police Service representatives today at the Salvation Army Hall in Calamvale for the fourth annual Stretton Multicultural Awards.
The event, as part of Queensland Multicultural Month recognises, celebrates and acknowledges the contribution of local service providers, individuals, not for profit organisations and cultural associations who make a difference across the diverse and multicultural electorate.
QPS members received a number of awards, which were presented by state and federal members and local sporting legend, Romelda Aiken from the Queensland Firebirds.
South Brisbane Districts Cross Cultural Liaison Officer Sergeant Jim Bellos said it was an honour to once again, be recognised for the work that police do in this community.
“Our Police Liaison Officers and sworn officers pride themselves on proactive engagement and we are fortunate to live and work in a community that truly reflects everything that is great about Queensland,” Sergeant Bellos.
