BURDEKIN COMMUNITY ACTION GROUP AGAINST CRIME


Date

Mr Mike Keating
The Acting Assistance Commissioner
P.O. Box 3737
Hermit Park. 4812


Dear Sir,

It has come to the attention of this group that the northern region police management has made comments in regards to the perception of the reason behind the recent march by concerned members of the public. It is believed that comments are to the effect that the street march was a protest against the police based in the Burdekin Region.

This group would like to dispel these perceptions as it is an injustice to the people that participated in this march if this is what police management is interpreting.

We would like to point out that in all news releases we believe everything has been in a positive manner and supportive of Ayr Police Station and its members. Some of our main objectives are to strengthening police presence in the district and to ensure the enforcement of stronger laws and harsher punishment by the Courts to deter reoffenders. This would certainly hope to help Police in the future.

In regards to Police and community working together to combat violent crimes and antisocial behavior, the truth of the matter is that our group supports the Police wholeheartedly.

Yours sincerely


Kel Bunyan
President
