Pimpama backs pop-up policing

THE pop-up policing unit has completed its latest assignment outside Pimpama Junction Shopping Centre.

The mobile unit was stationed there for two days as a way to return to community-focused engagement.

Senior Sergeant Nick Sellars said the Gold Coast’s Northern Patrol Group reported the community were very supportive of the initiative.

Residents chatted to police, received security advice and could get cars fitted with one-way screws to prevent theft of their registration plates.
