Restoring safety where you live
The new Queensland Government is continuing to deliver initiatives to restore safety where you live.
Victim numbers are down 6.5%* and thousands of youth offenders have been charged with more than 14,000 offences under the landmark Adult Crime Adult Time laws.
But there’s more to be done.
That’s why the Queensland Government is:
- Increasing police resources to target crime hotspots and expanding PolAir
- Delivering significant investment into early intervention and rehabilitation programs to break the cycle of youth crime and rehabilitate youth offenders
- Introducing Daniel’s Law to deliver the State’s first public child sex offender register
- Tackling knife crime through Jack’s Law, giving police enhanced wanding powers in various public places
