School Based Police Officer

Message from Your School Based Police Officer

I am Senior Constable Tanya Shield and I have been at the school since 2005. The school community has made me feel very welcome and I am really looking forward working with you and building positive relationships.

There are about 30 School Based Police Officers throughout the State and between us we cover approximately 50 state high schools. Our main role is to establish positive relationships between students and police. We contribute to establishing a safe and supportive learning environment for students; conduct crime prevention activities within school; investigate crime activities within school and the school community; provide a police resource in school; delivering lectures and providing information on law, police duties and other related topics which support the school curriculum; and participate in student activities such as excursions and camps. Hours of duty

Generally my hours are Monday to Friday 8am-4pm. I begin and end every shift at North Rockhampton Police Station so I endeavour to be at the school from 9.00am until 3.00pm.

To make an appointment

If you are a student, you can come and see me during your morning tea and lunch breaks. If it is an urgent matter, you can attend the office at any time and the office ladies will contact me on my work phone.

Always Remember

Outside of school hours, if you are unable to handle a situation, call the local police or, in an emergency, call 000.

How Does Crime Stoppers Work?

Crime Stoppers is a telephone hotline for information about any criminal activity.
You the caller need not give your name and are known only by a code number. Remaining anonymous allows you to overcome any fear of involvement or retaliation.
Your call is not recorded or taped. Only you know who gave information – you are not identified in any way.
If an arrest follows, you may be eligible to claim a reward of up to $1000.
Even when collecting a reward you remain anonymous!
Rewards are paid for from the monies raised from the general and business communities.

Who's Chatting To Your Kids?

Online chat rooms have proven to be a dangerous destination for children who are unsupervised, or who have not been provided with sufficient information and guidance to ward off approaches by sexual predators.

Investigations conducted by the Queensland Police Service have identified that some individuals gradually seduce children through the use of attention, affection and even giving gifts.

The standard rules you teach your children about meeting new people in the real world also apply when they meet and 'chat' with people online.

This brochure has been prepared by the Queensland Police Service and is based on internet investigations involving child victims.

On-Line Safety Tips

Never give out personal information on the net, like your full name, address, phone number or school.
Ensure your screen name does not reveal personal information about you.
Review your online profile. Predators can use this personal information to find you.
Only allow your friends to view your personal blog and profile.
Never send your picture to someone you don’t know.
Don’t accept invitations to view webcams from unknown internet users.
Never arrange face-2-face meetings with people met online.
Understand predators ask personal questions and attempt to become friends quickly.
·Time chatting online to a person does not equal trust or knowing the person.

Everyone enjoys going to or hosting a party. For young people it is certainly a part of growing up and celebrating special occasions with your friends. While most parties are fun for everyone involved, intoxicated guests or gatecrashers can sometimes ruin the occasion.

This information provides some ideas to assist in holding successful, enjoyable and safe parties for everyone concerned including parents, hosts and guest.

Registering your party will provide the police with the details they need to know if they are called to your party to deal with an incident.

There is a Party Safe Registration form* attached to the Party Safe brochure (2006 version) which is available from your School Based Police Officer or any police station, so that party hosts can register their party (at least one week beforehand) with the local police.
