The South Brisbane Police Muslim Youth Program was started in August 2018 and youth from the program recently participated in a three day leadership and team building camp held on the Sunshine Coast.
Police officers from Morningside Child Protection and Investigation Unit (CPIU), Mount Gravatt and Inala PCYC’s and supporting members actively participated with the youth members in a variety of team building and leadership activities including high ropes, leadership events, obstacle courses and the giant flying fox.
It was great to see the youth helping police officers scale the high log!
The 12 week program aims to build positive relationships between police and youth.
The structured program aims at building new life skills, focusing on self esteem, personal development and team work.
Well done to all the course participants!

Police bring Toby to Picnic in the Park
Morningside Police and Toby, the Morningside Police Station mascot, got a good work out at the Morningside Picnic in the Park last weekend.
The event was organised with Morningside 3 Neighbourhood Watch and attracted a great turn out of mums and dads with their young kids.
The event raised funds for our local Scouts group and provided a great day out for all! Toby’s adventure started with Dave, one of our local all rounder police with a ride on one of our Brisbane Water Police speed boats!
Toby got to see the sights just like our water police do every day in our Brisbane River and coastal areas. Dave was an excellent driver and could be looking for a career as a water police officer.
Toby then got a talk with the kids from our local Dive Squad officers and helped with the presentation from Diver Dan, getting an ‘up close and personal’ view
