Ride along with South Brisbane Police
This morning, South Brisbane District Crime Prevention staff along with members of the Rail Squad and Cultural Support Unit jumped ‘on board’ with Queensland Rail and commuters riding the Cleveland line to Brisbane City as part of Operation Wake Up, targeting safety.

Many commuters took the opportunity to chat with police during their ride into the city while children were given a small token to wear. Many commuters commented positively on seeing police on the train and train platforms focusing on community engagement as opposed to enforcement.
Senior Constable Ricki Brudenall said it was great to see so many commuters responding so positively to police, chatting with them and engaging with young children.
These types of activities provide a means of breaking down barriers while at the same time delivering a positive public safety message.
