Gungahlin police to walk the beat 24/7 from January
Dec 11, 2008

Gungahlin is set to become a safer place with police to walk the beat 24/7 from January, 2009.
An additional 19 constables and five sergeants will patrol Gungahlin around the clock, bringing the police presence in line with other ACT police stations.
The Gungahlin Police Station currently opens seven days a week from 7am to 11pm with Belconnen and city police responding to call-outs at night, and patrolling the area when the station is closed.
A spokesman for Minister for Police and Emergency Services Simon Corbell said the non-stop police presence will be manned using 24 officers from existing surplus resources.
With an extra 122 officers walking the beat in Canberra since 2001-02, the 24 extra police officers may include new recruits and the promotion of some officers to fill the five sergeant roles.
An extra two cars will also patrol the streets, bringing the number of patrol cars in Gungahlin during peak periods to four or five, ACT chief police Officer Michael Phelan said. Chief Police Officer Phelan believes the extra cars will allow for quicker response times and the additional staff will allow for shift overlap to cater for busy times.
Mr Corbell said the $3.3 million recurrent funding injection comes as a response to Gungahlin's growing population. The station first opened in 1998 with the population growing rapidly in the past 10 years. "The population of Gungahlin has doubled from 16,000 to 32,000 residents in that time," Mr Corbell said. "The Government believes it is now appropriate to increase the police presence to a permanent, full-time basis."
The new scheme will be phased in from January 2009.
