Action group plans crime prevention education
The Burdekin community is planning a crime prevention education campaign as part of its stand against crime in the region.
Action Group Against Crime president Kel Bunyan says it needs to get the message out on how to boost home security as well as procedures for reporting a crime.
Mr Bunyan says the group is writing to the regional police Assistant Commissioner requesting police numbers be increased.
"We need to bridge the gap between the police and the community in the sense that the people in the community need to feel at ease when they do report a crime to the police and not have the stigma to say, 'well it's them and us' or anything like that," he said.
"The police are there to assist the community in every case of someone breaking the law."
