Gold Coast District Officer Chief Superintendent Craig Hanlon said the taskforce was a key component in addressing the rising youth crime crisis across the state and specifically in the Gold Coast.

“As we’ve recently seen, Taskforce Guardian has been effective in assisting local police in tracking down and apprehending offenders and keeping the community safe,” he said.

“The assistance of Youth Justice workers also bolsters efforts to engage at -risk young people with support services and agencies, to diver them from offending before heading down the path to recidivist offending.

“Our frontline police do an excellent job day in and day out, however we welcome the additional resources to saturate hotspots.”
