Coffee with a Cop

On Sunday, March 30, Southbank Police along with the Crime Prevention Officers from the Melbourne Proactive Policing Unit and Southbank Neighbourhood Watch got together to host “Coffee with a Cop”.

Melbourne Square kindly hosted the event with MICM kindly donating delicious biscuits and muffins, while 10 Hoff Café provided discount coffee vouchers for attendees.

It provided an opportunity for police to interact with the community in an informal setting.

Police were answering lots of questions about safety and security in apartment living and Southbank Neighbourhood Watch president Chris Milner was obtaining email addresses for local residents to start engaging with each other.

Hopefully this is the first of many Coffee with a Cop events for Southbank. Stay tuned for the next one!

Operation Compass is a statewide road policing operation to be conducted over the April school holidays incorporating the Easter and ANZAC Day long weekends. The operation will be conducted from Thursday, April 17 to Sunday, April 27.

Operation Compass will be being conducted throughout all operational police regions and police service areas (PSAs) using all available personnel from local road policing units, general duties and other regional resources.

The major focus for the operation will be on impaired driving, speed, fatigue, distraction offences and seatbelt compliance.

Southbank Police wishes all Southbank News readers a happy and safe Easter break. •
