I am inspired by New South Wales Police Officer Paul, a youth police officer, working with Ted Noff's Foundation, Westfield Security Manger, NGO's and with Blacktown City Council Officers, to reduce crime and anti-social behaviors, which I was told is high in Mount Druitt.
On Thursday they are organizing "Free" Bar-Be-Que sausages as from 3pm for youths around the area and then they can come and play basket ball into a high basket ball net, as shown below. Youth workers and trainee youth workers are also there to assist our youths, in need and point them to the right direction of life.
Great concept, to prevent youths roaming around, possibly causing havoc. Ideally, this makes youths do activities and keeps their interest at bay. The Police Officer advised myself, this initiative started at the back of the Joan Sutherland theatre in Penrith and has proven successful.
The only drawback they may be facing is the new planned facilities at Dawson Mall, may not allow for these activities to happen for youths. I looked around and I'm sure that Blacktown City Council, its planners and its engineers will factor in spaces for youths to use basket ball activities or even provide a shed in Dawson Mall, for youths to meet.
Mount Druitt Youths are invited! See Constable Paul there!
