Bushfires The Service provided expert assistance during the Victoria bushfires disaster. Nineteen members of the Disaster Victim Identification Squad including two Photographic Section officers and two cadaver dogs and their handlers travelled to Victoria to provide their services and support. Two members of the Media and Public Affairs Branch also went to Melbourne to assist Victoria Police media liaison officers. Flood relief operations In 2009 North Queensland experienced significant rainfall and a tropical cyclone. The deluge associated with this weather resulted in flooding in many areas especially around Ingham, Karumba and Normanton. Police in the Far Northern Region, Northern Region, Central Region and from Operations Support Command worked professionally, competently and with tireless effort to manage the issues associated with the rainfall and flooding while maintaining core policing services. Members of the Disaster Victim Identification Squad sort through fire debris at a burnt out residence in Kinglake, Victoria. Output 1: Community Safety and Engagement With honour we serve 45
Julia Creek police officers Sergeant Erin Shawcross and Senior Constable Garth Finney look for an alternative route to reach cattle stations surrounding the township. Mobile police facilities The project to produce four mobile police facilities, capable of being deployed to planned events, emergencies and major incidents, is managed by Metropolitan North Region. The first vehicle became operational in April 2008. The second vehicle is due for delivery in late July 2009. The two remaining vehicles are due for operational deployment by the end of 2009. When the project is completed, two vehicles will be based in Brisbane (Metropolitan North and Metropolitan South), one vehicle in Townsville and a further vehicle on the Gold Coast. The vehicles are fitted with state-of-the-art voice and data communications, radios capable of operating on all frequencies, including marine and air based frequencies, satellite telephones and computers. The vehicles will be self contained, with their own generators and lighting equipment to allow long term deployment. The first vehicle has been deployed to a number of operational and non-operational events to allow officers to assess the functionality of the vehicle and provide constructive feedback. Events that the vehicle has been deployed at include a Bracken Ridge rape scene, Currumbin Anzac Day ceremony, Caxton Street Seafood Festival, Greek Paniyiri Festival (2 days), the Doomben races and an incident at Carbrook involving community unrest. Feedback from operational police indicates overwhelmingly positive support for the vehicle. The project team is considering minor alterations to the original design to further enhance the operational functionality of the vehicle. These alterations are being carried out during the construction of the next three vehicles and then retro-fitted to the original. Gold Coast District Major Events Planning Unit Gold Coast District has a Major Events Planning Unit which takes carriage of all major events in the district such as Indy, Gold Coast Marathon, Magic Millions horse racing events, Schoolies, New Years Eve, NRL and AFL football games. 46 With honour we serve Output 1: Community Safety and Engagement
