COMMUNITY NEWS - New Police Beat in Nambour

A new Police Beat has been established in Nambour on Lowe Street, serving as another base for officers to respond to local safety concerns in the heart of Nambour’s Central Business District (CBD).

The brand-new facility will be staffed by a full-time police officer.

Superintendent Sunshine Coast District Officer Craig Hawkins said the facility could be used as an extra working space for specialist units such as the District Crime Prevention Unit, Criminal Investigation Branch and the Child Protection and Investigation Unit, as required.

“The Police Beat will be a beneficial support not only to the Nambour CBD community but also to our main station at Nambour,’’ Superintendent Hawkins said.

“The officer stationed at the Police Beat will be able to work the local area on foot, monitoring public behaviour, building rapport with businesses and boosting confidence in our protective efforts to continue the police’s essential role in keeping our local community safe.’’

Deputy Commissioner People and Assets Mark Kelly said, “This facility will ensure our officers are better positioned to engage with the community and address safety concerns as they arise.”
