Police try hand at face-painting

MORE than 500 people have attended a Kalwun Protection Week event at Surfers Paradise.

Local police supported the event, with Senior Constable Carleen Armour showing children the police all-terrain vehicle and helping with face painting.

Kalwun has been a strong advocate for the protection of children and highlights the need to report anything that puts children at risk.

They have a number of programs designed to make the community strong and more resilient.
