We partner with a number of community volunteer and not-for-profit organisations to assist in the delivery of specific programs that benefit our region.
The STRP helps to create safety and peace through crime prevention projects. Current projects are:
The Heights Community Centre - ''The Heights' promotes harmony and builds a sense of community by providing a venue where programs and activities are available for all people of all ages. The centre is available for use by interested groups and individuals and is located at 16 Wine Drive Wilsonton Heights. More information can be found on The Heights Community Centre website.
Graffiti Busters - With the re-emergence of illegal graffiti in the region, STRP encourages the community to report illegal graffiti and arranges for its removal. Contact us on 131 872 to report graffiti.
The Wilsonton Community Gallery - The gallery is based at the Wilsonton Shopping Centre and is open to artists in the Toowoomba Region to be able to participate in art classes and sell their work. Please contact the art gallery via their Facebook page.
Across Toowoomba there is a range of non-government organisations, departments and community groups that address various forms of violence from preventative strategies to strategies to rehabilitate offenders. Events and activities that raise community awareness include:
- Crime prevention week
- Child protection week
- Domestic violence month
- White ribbon day
- Party safe
- Safety for seniors presentations
- Protective behaviours presentations

Crime Stoppers Queensland is a registered charity and community-driven organisation that works in partnership with the Queensland Police Service and all communities in Queensland. It provides a safe, anonymous way to share what you know without fear. Crime Stoppers Queensland work alongside law enforcement, but don’t share your identity with them or anyone else. It’s this anonymity that gives people the confidence to speak up.
To provide information about criminal activity, community members can call the free phone hotline 1800 333 000.
More information about the organisation can be found on the Crime Stoppers website or by phoning 1300 309 355.
