No. 4510.0 Note that the offences contained in these graphs are defined differently to the QPS definitions. Therefore, they cannot be directly compared with information in the QPS Annual Statistical Review. In recent years Queensland’s overall crime rates have declined for offences involving property and offences against people. Our crime rates have also compared favourably with the national averages. 30 With honour we serve Output 2: Crime Management
Key priority area—Personal safety Child safety To reduce investigator exposure to child exploitation material and improve opportunities for victim identification, the QPS initiated the establishment of an Australian National Victim Image Library (ANVIL). Research and testing are underway to develop and implement practical solutions to aid in the identification of child victims and offenders. Task Force Argos continues to identify, initiate and maintain products that educate the community and reduce the risk posed to children by the internet and related technologies. Some of the ongoing Argos generated internet safety initiatives include the ‘Who’s chatting to your kids?’ brochure and the ‘Surf Safely’ campaign which was awarded the 2007 Child Protection Week Education Award. Web pages on these initiatives can be viewed at: www.police.qld.gov.au/programs/personalSafety/ The QPS has maintained its position nationally as the lead law enforcement agency in the investigation of the sexual abuse and exploitation of our children. Investigators from State Crime Operations Command, Task Force Argos, have facilitated training across the world. Through its strategic alliances with child protection and law enforcement agencies worldwide, Task Force Argos investigators infiltrated and dismantled a highly secretive, sophisticated and organised network of international child sex offenders. Operation Achilles commenced in early 2006, and was finalised in February 2008 with the simultaneous execution of warrants across the world, resulting in the arrest of offenders in Australia, the United States, Germany and the United Kingdom. The successful completion of Operation Achilles and its associated sub-operations resulted in the removal of more than 40 children from sexually abusive situations; the arrest of 22 Achilles network members globally; the closure of 4 commercial child exploitation websites; and the arrest of more than 120 people for the purchase of child exploitation material, including 9 people in Queensland. In 2007-08 the Cold Case and Serial Sex Crime Team within the Child and Sexual Assault Investigation Unit implemented the statewide ‘Unreported Sexual Assault Project’ (Project USA) in partnership with sexual assault support services. The project gives survivors of sexual assault reporting options other than a formal complaint to police. The Cold Case Team has also established a website at: www.police.qld.gov.au/programs/ crimePrevention/Project_USA.htm This operation is recognised as a benchmark in online covert operations, and featured as a key note presentation at the Interpol Child Exploitation meeting in Sydney in June 2008.
