During Taskforce Guardian's first deployment to the Sunshine Coast, 54 young people have been charged with 77 offences and 31 young people diverted from the youth justice system. The rapid response team, consisting of specialist police and youth justice workers, targeted high-risk youth offenders and conducted activities such as locating alleged young offenders, conducting bail compliance monitoring, and proactive patrols in high-risk locations. The deployment was successful in engaging with youth offenders and at-risk young people in the community, focusing on disrupting and deterring youth offending while also diverting young people from the youth justice system and connecting them with relevant programs and services. The deployment was welcomed by local officers and contributed to enhancing community safety efforts. [7ff62dbe] [bf29e8c8]
