Inspector Michael Dowdy, Sergeant Jim Bellos and Police Liaison Officer Ricky Lashland, are all big supporters of the Indian community through their work in the QPS Cross Cultural Liaison Unit.

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.

“It was clear the lady was very shaken from the ordeal,” Constable Boswell said.
“However, the first thing she said was ‘Do you want a cup of tea?’.
“That was very thoughtful.”
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
