Police on the bike beat in North Lakes

You may have noticed police officers doing bicycle patrols if you have recently been walking through recreational reserves or parks in our local area.

Police from Mango Hill North Lakes Police Station will continue to patrol parks and public spaces on foot and bicycles to enable members of the public to approach police and get assistance when needed.

Acting Sergeant Ian Grafton of Mango Hill North Lakes Police advised that ‘Bike Patrols’ enables officers to deploy to a specific area, or public space.

“It gives us a physical presence in a public space, where we may have identified problems or members of the public have concerns,” Acting Sergeant Grafton said.

‘Bike Patrols’ is initiative to support the Queensland Police Service mission, to make the community safer and build relationships with the community.

If you see officers on the ‘Bike Beat’ in the Mango Hill North Lakes area please come up and say hello. We are here to help you.
