Police Liaison Officers
Police Liaison Officers are employed by the Queensland Police Service to establish and maintain a positive rapport between indigenous and ethnic communities and the Queensland Police Service.
Volunteers in Policing
Volunteers in Policing (VIPs) is a Queensland Police Service (QPS) initiative created to encourage community participation in local policing services. Launched in 1997, the programme aims to enhance community service delivery by forging strong working partnerships between police and the people it serves. For example, in many police divisions Volunteers in Policing provide much needed follow up support to victims of crime, particularly residents who have been victims of property crime.
Voluntary Community Representatives
Voluntary Community Representatives are required within the Central Police Region for participation on selection panels for sworn and unsworn vacancies/promotions.
