HEATHCOTE\u2019S first ever female police sergeant, Holly Lembke, has now been appointed to a permanent position and is inviting residents to a Coffee with a Cop, to meet and discuss their safety concerns.<\/p>\n
Everyone is welcome to join her at Gaffney\u2019s Bakery on 16 November between 10am and 11.30am.<\/p>\n
\u201cPolice are given very important powers and I pride myself on using those powers to make a real difference to people\u2019s lives,\u201d said Sergeant Lembke.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have a passion for helping people break away from domestic violence. Typically women who are economically or financially controlled, who feel they have no options.<\/p>\n
\u201cI also have a passion for catching drinking and drunk drivers. Their actions are not only reckless to their own lives, but there is nothing worse than attending a collision where innocent lives are lost due to the behaviour of an alcohol or drug affected driver.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll members at Heathcote Police Station are now qualified to conduct alcohol and drug tests on drivers.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sergeant Lembke said she hopes as many people as possible will join her at the bakery or call into the station to voice any concerns.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou will find me regularly conducting a foot patrol through Heathcote,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want the community to know that I am friendly, approachable and willing to assist where I can.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
