Kingaroy Police have had another busy week, with assaults, drink drivers and drugs matters keeping officers busy.
Officer-in-Charge of Kingaroy Police, Senior Sergeant David Tierney, has launched a MyPolice blog to help keep local residents in touch with the many issues which happen during a regular week of policing … and demonstrate why officers sometimes may not be available immediately to answer minor requests for assistance.
