19.01.2022 Melbourne Cup Weekend, stay safe!

19.01.2022 OPERATION SATURN State-wide road policing operation running from 22nd October to the 8th of November. Police will continue focussing on all manner of risk taking behaviours including; speed, drink and drug driving, fatigue, fail to wear seatbelts and distraction offences (mobile phones).... With the easing of some COVID restrictions and more people moving around we all need to be very aware of safety on our roads. I ask that people plan their trips, nominate drivers to swap minimising the likelihood of fatigue with regular coffee stops. Don’t use the phone, always have your seatbelt on and don’t speed! If you choose to have a drink then nominate another driver and don’t use drugs and drive. If you witness poor road user behaviour be brave enough to call it out and stop it before it endangers someone. Ring 000 if its urgent or your local police station and the matter will be attended to. With some heavy rain also forecast for the remainder of the year its timely to remind people to check their vehicles for wear and tear, check tyres and lights and always drive to the conditions. If you plan on getting back on your motorbike, take your time and wear protective clothing and make sure your bike is in safe working order. If your headed up to the bush for off road riding comply with all the laws required of you and remember you’re a long way from help if you have an incident, so ride safely. #Drivesafe #Ridesafe #OpSaturn

15.01.2022 If an offer of #QuickCash or #EasyMoney seems too good to be true, it probably is. Money muling is a type of money laundering. A ‘money mule’ is a person who receives money from a third party in their bank account and transfers it to another account, or withdraws it in cash to give to someone else, obtaining a commission for their efforts.... Simply put, money mules help criminal syndicates move money around the world, but the consequences for the money mules can be severe.

12.01.2022 Local police have been disappointed to witness multiple incidents over the past couple of weeks where drivers have not gradually slowed to 40km/h while passing emergency services vehicles with flashing lights and/or sirens that are stationary or moving slowly. Roadside incidents place emergency services workers at significant risk. When you see flashing lights, gradually slow down and pass at 40 km/h for their sake.

11.01.2022 Speeding increases the risk of road trauma. The faster you drive, the higher likelihood of serious injury or death to you or other road users. So, for your sake and the sake of everyone else using the roads, drive to the conditions and stick to the speed limit. #OpSaturn
