Coffee with a Cop for Domestic and Family Violence prevention, Carindale
The month of May is Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Month.
Domestic and Family Violence is when one person in a relationship uses violence or abuse to control the other person and is usually an ongoing pattern of behaviour aimed at controlling a partner through fear.
Regardless of whether you are a young person or an older person, whether you have been in your relationship for many years or just a short time, it’s important to consider whether your relationship is safe and respectful.
The Queensland Police Service is committed to working in partnership with the people of Queensland to provide professional policing services that will, over time, prevent and reduce the incidents of domestic violence in Queensland.
Each May, Queensland marks Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Month (DFVP Month) to raise community awareness of domestic and family violence and to send a clear message that violence of this sort will not be tolerated.

Bulimba residents reminded about home security
Police are advising Bulimba residents to review home security arrangements including locking doors and windows. Several houses and vehicles have been entered in the area with both property and sometimes vehicles being stolen.

lock all doors and windows prior to leaving your home.
check doors before going to bed, don’t assume someone else had locked up.
