At its heart, policing is about looking out for the community, and sometimes it means going that extra mile.
Last week, Constable Matt Boswell and Senior Constable Christopher Couch attended a job to assist an elderly South Brisbane resident who had disturbed an offender as he tried to break into her home.
They arrived to find the door had been ripped off its hinges, and so the resident was unable to secure her home.
Constable Boswell said the woman was very grateful to see the officers.
“It was clear the lady was very shaken from the ordeal,” Constable Boswell said.

Police found out she had been forced to cancel her plans for the day as a result of the incident.
The officers sat with the resident for a while, making conversation to put her
