Key priority area—Civil emergencies and major events Special emergency responses The Special Emergency Response Team (SERT) provides a specialist policing response to high risk incidents that require skills exceeding normal policing capabilities. SERT responded to a number of diverse incidents in 2007-08 including sieges, armed offender incidents and high risk warrant executions. They also provided operational response staff to NSW and Victoria for high risk security operations such as APEC and the World Youth Day Papal visit. SERT continues to enhance specialist skills by training with select units of the Australian Defence Force and international police tactical units. Incidents of high risk, suicide and civil unrest Police negotiators attended a number of high risk, suicide and civil unrest incidents during the past year. Currently there are 124 qualified police negotiators statewide of which 16 are counter-terrorism trained. The Negotiator Coordination Unit has provided training internationally as well as ongoing training to the Australian Federal Police and the Queensland Fire and Rescue Service. Dealing with bomb threats The QPS Explosive Ordnance Response Team is the largest in Australia and is capable of dealing with explosive, chemical, biological and radiological devices. Training for bomb response and detection has been provided to 100 officers across the State. The team provided specialist support to a wide range of matters, including VIP security, investigations and safe procedures on 205 occasions during 2007-08. 24 With honour we serve Output 1: Community Safety and Engagement
Flood relief operations The recent floods in Central Queensland affected areas from Cunnamulla, Charleville, Longreach, Emerald, Gympie, Boonah, Beaudesert and the Gold Coast to Rockhampton and Mackay. Officers assisted residents with their evacuation plans and patrolled the streets, while also working closely with other Queensland Government services. Extra police from around the State assisted local officers, council workers and residents. In Emerald, the worst-hit town, water police patrolled the evacuated areas of town by canoe, and also conducted patrols of the Fairburn Dam, where boating restrictions had been imposed. Police assisted other emergency services officers with a number of dangerous rescue operations in the Emerald and Charleville areas. Counter terrorism QPS activities which are coordinated and supported by the Counter-Terrorism Strategic Policy Branch include: • the QPS Counter-Terrorism Liaison Officer Program, which provides liaison between the QPS and critical infrastructure owners and operators • the coordination of QPS participation in the Critical Infrastructure, Mass Gatherings and Government Asset Protection Programs • supporting the Deputy Commissioner (Specialist Operations) in his capacity as the QPS representative on the National Counter-Terrorism Committee; Chair of the National Investigations Support Capability Coordination Sub-Committee, and co-Chair of the Queensland Counter-Terrorism Committee. The QPS has six specialist officers in national capability and assistant capability advisor positions across several specialist counter-terrorism disciplines including bomb response, dignitary protection, negotiation, tactical, intelligence and police forward command. Counter-terrorism exercises Within Queensland, the Queensland Police Service is responsible for Counter-Terrorism Exercise Management and has established the multi-agency Counter-Terrorism Training and Exercise Management Committee which administers a drill-style exercise program. Funding is provided by the National Counter-Terrorism Committee. With many of Emerald’s roads turned into rivers, water police patrolled the evacuated areas of town by boat.
