 Operation Unification presents an opportunity to the Queensland Police Service and the police organisations across the nation to address some of the significant issues involving firearms and weapons within our community. An example of the use of these sorts of illegal weapons within the community is highlighted through the armed robbery a couple of years back where in front of the store attendant with an illegal pistol. That pistol was discharged during the armed robbery demonstrating the danger that these sorts of weapons present to the victims of these crimes. Shortly following that incident the same offender with the same weapon entered a liquor store and confronted the attendant again with that same pistol and escaped with a sum of money. A recent example of the successes that Queensland Police Services had in dealing with weapons, unlawful weapons within the Queensland community was example by the firearms investigation team from Brisbane and their execution of a number of search warrants in the Monto area and the recover of a substantial cache of illegal weapons from that area. It's evidence that through the information from the community that the police service can certainly investigate significant crimes involving these weapons. The Queensland Police Service is well ahead of the ball game here in terms of looking at legislative and investigative strategies and methods of dealing with these emerging technologies to ensure the safety of the Queensland community on a whole.
