Message from The Area CoordinatorWelcome to the new Officer in Charge of Crest-mead Police Station Acting Senior Sgt Warren Parker and we wish you well with your work in our community. Thanks go out to all staff at Crestmead Station including the Volunteers for all they do
you are very much appreciated. I am pleased to say that our group is now officially In-corporated which makes life a little easier for grant applications etc and this will help us with our events in the community. Our grateful thanks to Veal and Prasad for their assistance with auditing our accounts. There may be a gap in newsletters for the next couple of months so I will draw your attention to the dates included here and most im-portantly the AGM & end of year social which is at the end of November. The first Saturday in December we will be holding the Crestmead Com-munity Carols in Pinnington Park & once again hope for a great turnout (but no rain!!) The November newsletter will have details of the event & look out for posters in the suburb. You will also see the events taking place at the community cen-tre which are noted—there is a lot going on so please take advantage of all the hard work that is organised for us in the suburb. There are so many more motorbike riders amongst the road toll this year we will be targeting many of these subjects at the Road Safety Expo to be held during Road Safety Week in August 2016, but for this year don’t forget there are lots of events on to educate & inform during the period 17th - 21st August. Not to say that we should just take care on Fatality Free Friday or Road Safety Week we should be conscious of the decisions we make when out on the roads bike riders are not always to blame so just give a bit more room when overtaking. Please see the note from Crestmead State School Adopt A Cop regarding children around schools & bike (scooter/skateboard) riding too.
Take care Geoff
NEWS FROM THE CRESTMEAD STATE SCHOOL “ADOPT A COP”“Police would like to remind parents that before and after school are very busy times and can be peak traffic hazard times for children outside the school gate. Drivers are re-minded that the 2 minute parking restrictions and the school car parks will be monitored and infringements issued to those found committing parking offences or any offence likely to cause danger to other drivers or students at the school. We encourage children and parents to use the safe crossing zone outside the school and remember to stop, look and listen before crossing the street. Finally, if you like to ride your bicycle in the community please remember to wear your bi-cycle helmet on your head. Keep safe and look out for each other.”
