 Ladies and gentlemen, Paul Zebar, Superintendent, Gold Coast Police. On the weekend, Gold Coast Police have been very active doing our street based operations, our high visibility, early intervention, particularly in the drink safe precinct in surface paradise, and also our operation Victoria, which we run out of the Broad Beach CBD. As well on Saturday night, we ran our operation EMBA, which is a joint operation with the State Traffic Task Force and the Random Drug Testing Unit. That operation was particularly successful. We had 32 charges, preferred against 27 persons. One person was located with a small amount of what was alleged to be cocaine, another person with a small amount of amphetamine. And of course, Operation EMBA was a joint passive drug dog and Random Drug Testing State Traffic Task Force operation, but the focus of it was to also reduce the consequences, if you like, of alcohol and drug related violence and harm on the Gold Coast. So that operation was particularly successful. And of course, that ran on the back of our drink safe precinct operation in surface and our operation Victoria and Broad Beach. Now as you'll know, we had the Titans vs Cowboys Friday night and of course the Suns and Collingwood. Now both of those games were particularly well attended. Around 17,000 at the Titans game and around 23,000 at the Suns game. Those people of course all went into surface paradise of Broad Beach afterwards and our police had a major operation there, as we normally do on the weekends with some standing results as well. If you just bear with me for a moment, I might actually go to those for you. On Friday nights in the drink safe precinct of surface paradise, we had 24 arrests of those. We had 28 charges, particularly well attended in the CBD and surface paradise on Friday night. Saturday night, similarly, we had 23 arrests in the drink safe precinct and surface paradise. 11 arrests in Broad Beach area, plus a number of tickets, street checks and so forth. The drink safe precinct operation of course is supported by the public safety response team as well from Brisbane. Over the weekend as well, we had an arrest for the armed robbery of the 7-Eleven at Scarborough Street Southport, a 21-year-old man from Wynnum. It's alleged to have confronted the straw tenant with a firearm and he's arrested and charged on Saturday. We're appearing for this Southport Mastrates Court this morning. I might also mention Operation Agnesio, which we ran last week, which was our joint traffic based operation using resources from the State Traffic Task Force from Brisbane using the automatic number plate recognition technology. We actually placed that operation in strategic crime areas. We've used Intel to work out where we've had other property-related crimes, Broad Beach, Southport in particular. And in that operation, it was designed to detect obviously unregistered and unlicensed drivers. However, we placed all those police resources in strategic high crime locations to make sure that the intelligence we drew from that operation would help us form our picture for where breaking in as another property crime was being performed. Now Operation Agnesio was a particularly successful operation. We had 20 persons rested on 29 charges. That's 20 persons on 29 charges. A number of those were criminal offences. There were a number of traffic tickets written, a number of RBTs, and I'll just go through the figures there for you. So we had 20 offenders on 29 charges, including stealing, fraud, drugs and weapons charges. We wrote 128 tickets over that three-day operation. We did 2,148 random breath tests and the total of 64 street checks. And they're the activity reports that police submit when they find a person of interest who may be perhaps a suspect or potentially a perpetrator of crime. So Operation Agnesio is a prime example of where we've used a traffic and road safety focused operation but overlaid it with criminal intelligence to put it in strategic areas to gather more intelligence and arrest perpetrators of crime. And clearly, based on the arrests we made during their operation, it was successful. A number of those charges included drug possession, fraud, possession of a weapon, possession of a restricted item, and possession of drugs. And also, I've ended up wanting an outstanding crime report for using a telecommunications device to harass. I'd like to also just to point out our regular operation, Unison, which we run with our colleagues on Tweet Heads, which is also a CBD-based operation in Kulangata and Tweet Heads. In that operation, we had eight police doing high visibility and early intervention policing strategies in the Kulangata and Tweet Heads CBD. And it was pleasing to see that we had only a small number of arrests, but the high visibility is the key to keeping crime down. So we had three arrests on four charges, including possession of a dangerous drug, drink driving and unlicensed driving. 300 RBTs were performed down there in that area, as well as a number of searches and activity report cards. So with all of our operations over the weekend, in response to the entertainment precincts, if you like, of surface paradise, Broad Beach and Kulangata, we've had high visibility, we've had assistance from our colleagues in Brisbane, and we've had some successes there, which is great to see the ongoing successes with the passive drug detection dogs. So Operation EMBA, with the drug detection dogs at our random breath testing and drug detection site, that complements, of course, our ongoing operation Sentinel, which uses the passive drug dogs as well, and we've had quite a significant result with that operation over the last few months. And of course, our passive drug detection dogs in their drug testing unit, it's not about necessarily getting people in possession of drugs. It's all about reducing the effects of drug and alcohol related violence and harm on the Gold Coast, and that's in conjunction with our other criminal investigative activities done by the C.I.B. Operation Resolve and of course, detectives from Brisbane. Is it fair to say that these operations have been prompted by the negative sort of press that Gold Coast is getting at the moment with, you know, talk about violence and shootings? The Operation Drinksafe and Operation Sentinel have been ongoing operations, which have been going since basically the 1st of December last year. So our policing of public splices... Excuse me. Operation Sentinel and the Drinksafe Precinct Operation have been going since 1st of December last year. We've done four passive drug dog operations in surface paradise and broad beach CBDs as well as Operation Ember on the weekend. These are ongoing strategies where we use the resources from Brisbane to help us target our crime and disorder on the Gold Coast. And it's all about working together with their colleagues from Brisbane, making sure that we send the message out there that drug and alcohol-related violence and harm isn't acceptable on the Gold Coast. These are both ongoing operations and have been in place for some time, and will continue to occur. Are they, I guess, reasonable sort of figures, particularly Saturday night because to football games on? What we've found with our Drinksafe... Well, the question is how are those figures going to our normal Friday and Saturday night? Whilst our police have been busy in the entertainment precincts on the Gold Coast over the weekend, it's pleasing to see that the number of arrests aren't extraordinarily high than you would find normally, and that's interesting, considering the larger crowds from the football. The Drinksafe Precinct Crossing surface paradise has been a subject of high visibility and early intervention policing since 1st of December. Every weekend on the Gold Coast here in surface paradise is a little bit like schoolies now. The police are in Reflectorized Vests. They're walking in and out of clubs. We're doing compliance checks. We're working with our colleagues from Nicolices in Fair Trading, as well as the Fire Service and the local council. We have a steering committee which drives those activities, and they've been working well since 1st of December. In most of the crime categories, the surface paradise CBD is actually experiencing a significant downturn in crime. And what I've noticed talking to the traders there in surface paradise and the local people is that they're particularly happy with the way the Drinksafe Precinct's going. The nightclub association are also happy with the way we're getting the passive drug dogs in there regularly, and that operation is going to be ongoing, and we're very pleased with the results. And of course, there's no doubt that surface paradise police, Broad Beach Police and Curlegata Police are working tirelessly on policing public order, making the streets safer in those areas. Very pleased and very proud of the results they've been bringing in. And of course, I'm quite pleased and I'm very proud of the results that the CIB in conjunction with their colleagues from State Crime Operations Command have brought in over the weekend with the arrest for the alleged murder. There's been a few calls for zero-tolerance type strategies on the coast. Do you think it would work in something you did policing considering that? It's interesting that the term zero-tolerance is getting a bit of popularity in the media, and what I'd like to point out is that Gold Coast Police are particularly good at high visibility and early intervention strategies, and we've got no tolerance for people that do break the law. We arrest them, put them before the courts. What I will point out though is that zero-tolerance is not just about the police having zero-tolerance, it's also about the community. And I think in recent times we've seen the community put their hand up and say, stand for violence, we're not going to stand for disorder, and they're working closely with us, and that's closely aligned to the results we're getting in surface paradise with the steering committee there, the business people, the local community are working with us. We had the Turning Point Seminar on the Gold Coast last week, which is also well attended, and I was very pleased to hear that most of the delegates there were very proud of their local police, as I am, and indeed see that zero-tolerance, whilst it's a term that's bandied around, really that's what we're doing on the Gold Coast and have been doing for some time.
