Senior Wiser Safer — Queensland Police Service Directory of Services for Older People

The Queensland Police Service recognises the valuable role that older Queenslanders play in our community and their right to safety and a lifestyle without fear.

With an ageing population in Australia, the Queensland Police Service acknowledges the concerns of seniors with respect to crime and fear of crime, and the need to provide effective strategies to meet these needs now and in the future.

Whilst seniors have a right to feel safe all of the time, it is vital that they prepare themselves to recognise crime risk situations and take proactive steps to prevent them.

The Senior Wiser Safer — Queensland Police Service Directory of Services for Older People is a concise and user-friendly guide to the many existing programs and services developed by the Queensland Police Service and other Queensland government and non-government agencies that may be of benefit to seniors.

I trust this directory and its extensive list of Queensland Police Service programs and services is a valuable information resource for you and your family.

R Atkinson
Commissioner
