Officers from the South Brisbane District had the chance to speak with staff at the Kyabra Community Association in Runcorn earlier this week and provided a presentation on their insights on engaging with diverse multicultural communities.
Speakers included Police Liaison Officers from the Indian, Muslim and African community, as well the District’s Cross Cultural Liaison Officer Sergeant Jim Bellos APM OAM.
“Our Region has experienced a significant increase in the number of new residents, particularly those from diverse multicultural communities” Sergeant Bellos said.
“The cultural and religious diversity of the Brisbane Region is further highlighted by fact there are over 220 communities that speak over 150 languages, and also represent in excess of 130 religious faiths practised.”
As pillars of peace, respect and stability, it’s great that we as a Service can contribute to supporting our friends from the Kyabra Community Association with engaging the rich tapestry that is South Brisbane.
