🚨 Break and Enter in Progress? Your Safety Comes First 🚨

If you discover someone has broken into your home or is currently inside, do not approach or confront them. Your safety is the priority.

✅ Call 000 immediately and ask for Police assistance.

✅ If it is safe to do so: 🔹 Move to a secure room and lock the door
🔹 Stay quiet and silence your phone if hiding
🔹 Keep your phone with you and stay on the line with the operator
🔹 Leave the house if you can do so safely
❌ Do not confront the intruder
❌ Do not try to stop them from leaving

Remember, property can be replaced. Your personal safety and the safety of your family cannot.

Once the situation is over and Police have responded, you can access information about reporting a break and enter through the Queensland Police Service.

🏡 Neighbourhood Watch Queensland encourages everyone to review their home security and have a family safety plan in place should an emergency occur.

In an emergency, always call 000.

📹 Join the Community Camera Alliance – Help Make Queensland Safer! 📹
Did you know your security camera could help police investigate crime and improve community safety?

The Community Camera Alliance (CCA) is a Queensland Police Service initiative that encourages residents and businesses to register the location of their CCTV systems. By knowing where cameras are located, police can save valuable time during investigations and quickly identify potential footage that may assist in solving crimes.

✅ Registration is FREE
✅ Your footage is not monitored by police
✅ You retain full ownership and control of your CCTV system
✅ Police will only contact you if footage from your camera may assist with a specific investigation

Whether you have a home security camera, business CCTV system, doorbell camera, or other surveillance system, your registration could make a real difference in supporting local investigations and preventing crime.

🎥 Register your CCTV system today and help strengthen community safety across Queensland.

Together, we can build safer, more connected communities by working hand in hand to support crime prevention and assist police when it matters most.

"Don't Tell Anyone"

A request for secrecy can be a major warning sign.

🚩 Be cautious if someone:

Tells you to keep a transaction secret from your family or bank
Says other people won't understand or will "ruin the opportunity"
Tries to isolate you from people who could help

Scammers often use secrecy to prevent victims from getting a second opinion. If something feels wrong, talk to someone you trust.

Impersontion Scams.

Sometimes the person contacting you looks and sounds exactly like someone you know—or claims to represent someone you trust.

🚩 Be cautious if they:

- Suddenly ask you to transfer money or buy gift cards
- Say they've lost their phone or can't talk normally
- Ask you to keep the request secret or act immediately

Verify unusual requests using a different contact method. A quick phone call could stop a scam in its tracks.
