National Survey of Community Satisfaction with Policing Queensland has participated in the National Survey of Community Satisfaction with Policing since 2001. The survey results indicate general satisfaction with services in 2007-08 is 69.5%, which is just below our target range of 70-80%, but above the satisfaction rate of 67.3% achieved in 2006-07. Media and public affairs The Media and Public Affairs Branch continued to provide a 24-hour statewide media management service in 2007-08. Major incidents or issues involving intense media coverage included the fatal shooting of a police officer, APEC at Coolum, Schoolies on the Gold Coast, flooding in central Queensland, September school holidays on Stradbroke Island, the disappearance and rescue of two divers in the Whitsundays, food contamination at major supermarkets across Australia and the Christmas and Easter road safety campaigns. Queensland Police Museum During 2007-08, the Queensland Police Museum welcomed a record 15 845 visitors through its doors, boosted by an average of 60 attendees to each of the monthly Sunday openings. The museum lecture series, a feature of the Sunday openings, has continued to enhance community understanding of policing and crime prevention. During 2007-08 topics included identity fraud, internet predators, historic murders, the Dog Squad and developments in forensic science. Veronica Mortimer, Communications Room Operator at the Brisbane Police Communications Centre, has recently taken out six Australian Championship Awards for showcasing Arabian horses. 56 With honour we serve Output 4: Professional Standards and Ethical Practice
Queensland Police Pipes and Drums 50th anniversary Queensland Police Pipes and Drums celebrated its 50th anniversary with the Echoes of Edinburgh fundraising concert at Brisbane City Hall on 27 June 2008. Formed now 1958 by a small group of police officers, it now boasts national and international fame with performances at the Royal Tournament, the Colchester Searchlight Tattoo, the world famous Edinburgh Military Tattoo in 1975 and 2006, the inaugural Brisbane International Festival and the Brisbane and Adelaide International Tattoos. Queensland Police Pipes and Drums plays for about 350 Queensland audiences a year. Key future initiatives A review into detective training within the QPS will be finalised. The Investment Governance Board approved in May 2008 will be established to provide strategic management of investment in major projects. A joint Queensland Police Service/Media Management Committee will be established to provide ongoing liaison between the major media stakeholders and QPS. This is a recommendation of the Crime and Misconduct Commission publication Striking a balance—an inquiry into media access to police radio communication. A film and television policy, incorporating a cost recovery process, to better meet the interests of the QPS will be developed, improving service delivery to the film and television industry.
