Neighbourhood Watch Queensland has launched a new website to keep communities up to date with crime prevention strategies in their area.<\/p>\n

Police Minister Jack Dempsey said the move was an important step to connect residents with their local police and bring crime fighting strategies into the 21st century.<\/p>\n

“The Government is committed to making Queensland the safest place to live and raise a family, and the Neighbourhood Watch site is a simple, modern tool for residents to raise crime or safety concerns with their local police,” Mr Dempsey said.<\/p>\n

“At the election we promised to revitalise frontline services and the Neighbourhood Watch site is an example of that pledge.<\/p>\n

“Going digital means you can now get involved in Neighbourhood Watch wherever you are, whenever you want to.”<\/p>\n

An advertising campaign to promote the Neighbourhood Watch blogs will begin today.<\/p>\n

The “Become Your Neighbourhood Crime Fighter” campaign uses the latest digital advertising techniques. After viewing one of the online ads, a person can immediately click on a link and subscribe to more information or join up.<\/p>\n

Traditional press advertising will also be used as a part of the overall campaign.<\/p>\n

Assistant Commissioner Paul Stewart said the launch of the Neighbourhood Watch Queensland site is an additional tool for police to engage with the community to address crime.<\/p>\n

“We have seen from the success of our myPolice sites that there is an audience for this kind of community information,” Assistant Commissioner Stewart said.<\/p>\n

“Greater public awareness regarding crime and an increased willingness to report such incidents is imperative for the success of policing.<\/p>\n

“This new site should not only serve as an investigative tool but also as a community engagement opportunity for officers and the public.”<\/p>\n

Minister Dempsey and Assistant Commissioner Stewart encouraged residents to visit the website<\/a><\/strong> and join in protecting their community:<\/p>\n

The South Burnett currently has at least three active Neighbourhood Watch groups: two town groups in Murgon and Kingaroy, and a Nanango Rural branch<\/strong><\/p>\n
