24.01.2022 Police are urging travellers planning to cross the NSW/Queensland border tomorrow to expect significant delays on our roads when the border re-opens. The Queens...land Government has announced that the NSW/Queensland border will re-open to NSW residents from 12pm midday tomorrow (Friday 10 July 2020), with travellers requiring a Border Declaration Pass to enter the state. With the change in entry conditions, the NSW Police Force is working closely with the Queensland Police Service and are urging motorists to be ready to provide all relevant documentation and identification at checkpoints to assist with reducing delays. With thousands of motorists expected to be travelling into and through the Far North Coast region, Tweed/Byron Police Commander, Superintendent Dave Roptell, is pleading with drivers to be patient and prepared for a heavily delayed journey. If you are choosing to cross the border in the next 72-hours, please be aware we anticipate there will be extensive delays at the major checkpoints these delays could be more than a couple of hours, with queues potentially up to 20km long. We are working with our counterparts over the border to ensure as smooth a transition to the new border pass system as possible, but we understand this will take time to work through. If you do not need to cross the border on Friday, we are asking you to delay your travel for a couple of days to allow for the large influx of traffic to flow through the checkpoints. If you do decide to cross the border, make sure you are well prepared have some snacks and water in the car, stop off at a rest stop or coastal town for a pit stop and bathroom break before piling into the car. It will be a long journey, so we are asking drivers to please be patient. Always drive to the conditions, don’t speed to try and get to your destination sooner, don’t have any distractions around you while behind the wheel, and as always do not drink or drug drive, Supt Roptell said. Tweed/Byron police are also reminding holidaymakers coming to popular tourist destinations such as Byron Bay, Bangalow, Ballina and Suffolk Park to adhere to social distancing guidelines and follow current NSW Public Health Orders. We are not out of the danger zone yet, Supt Roptell said. With thousands of NSW residents now able to travel across the state, we are seeing a massive influx of visitors to our popular coastal spots. Police are continuing to conduct high-visibility patrols in and around the busy strips and ensuring locals and tourists alike are following the current rules. Public gathering restrictions, restaurant, café and pub limits and the 4sqm rule are still in place and of course, if you have any symptoms, go and get tested, Supt Roptell said.

Queensland Border Declaration Passes need to be renewed every seven days.

16.01.2022 Good Neighbourhood ABC's - M is for Maintenance Criminals like an easy target, plain and simple. Make your home less attractive to the bad guys with these maint...enance tips: Keep trees and shrubs around your home well-trimmed so they don't provide any easy hiding places. Install sturdy deadbolt locks to all external doors and make sure you use a brand with durable deadbolt strike plate and long anchor screws. Install motion-sensor lights around your home to light up any dark spots that may provide a good hiding place. If you want to really scare thieves away before they get into your home, install a video doorbell with two-way voice capabilities + notifications whenever anyone is near the front door. You can see who's at the door and tell them to go away without even being at home. Install key locks on the windows or at the very least, cut dowel rods to fit each window so they don't provide easy entry. A little preventative maintenance can increase your home security and stop your home becoming a target for thieves.

12.01.2022 SCAM ALERT! We’ve had several reports of scammers calling people from what appear to be trusted NSW Police Force numbers and threatening the call recipients wit...h fines or arrest. These scammers are using technology to make it appear that the calls originate from legitimate police phone numbers; a practice known as ID spoofing. The caller impersonates a NSW Police Force officer and states that the person receiving the call has an outstanding fine or warrant. The scammer demands a form of payment to prevent arrest or further court action. The NSW Police Force will never call a member of the public and demand payment over the phone in order to avoid going to court or being arrested. If you get an unexpected call from someone who states they're from the police, and starts asking for personal details or threatens you, please hang up. If you’re concerned, you can always verify by contacting your local police or the Police Assistance Line directly on 131 444. To find out more information about scams, or to find out other ways to protect yourself, visit www.scamwatch.gov.au. If you have been the victim of a scam, you can report it to local police or to the ACCC online at the ‘SCAMwatch report a scam’ page.

09.01.2022 Don't get rolled by scammers looking for 'love'. Dating and romance is arguably the most deceptive as the imposter usually forms a close bond with their victim,... playing their emotions and gaining their trust, before taking their money and leaving them heartbroken. NEVER transfer money to someone you haven’t met, no matter how genuine they appear. #ScamsWeek2020 See more
