Mark Boothman MP Blog - Police - Mark Boothman

First up today was walking the pavement in Studio Village, then a quick interview with Channel 7, help the Lions clean up their weekly BBQ, now it's time for a Community Roadside at Upper Coomera near the Community Centre.

Our local Police are over worked and the Gold Coast desperately needs more. Last week in Parliament I continued to plead for the officers we need.

Today Sid Cramp MP, Member for Gaven and I met with Senior Sergeant Chris Smith who is the new head of Road Policing in the Northern Gold Coast. It was great to hear Chris's vision and outline to tackle hooning and dangerous driving on our roads. We also spoke about the need to connect our communities through social media at the new North Gold Coast Crime Watch FB page.

Thank you to the Upper Coomera Neighbourhood Watch Group for the great work you do for the community. Also to the Officers from the Coomera Police Station for making yourselves available to discuss residents’ concerns, thank you.

I will continue to fight for more Police resources to keep our streets safe. Click continue reading to watch the latest news reports on this issue.
