After quickly realising university wasn't for him, Inspector Kevin O'Connell applied to both Victoria Police and the Metropolitan Fire Brigade.

Victoria Police called first.

Nearly 38 years later, he's still here.

From becoming one of Victoria's youngest prosecutors to leading the Banyule-Nillumbik Police Service Area, his career has taken turns he never expected.

His advice? "You never truly know what will resonate with you until you're doing the work."

📣Banyule-Nillumbik Reduced Counter Hours 📣

Changes have been made to public counter access at some police stations across Banyule and Nillumbik. These changes help ensure more police members are available where they are needed most, out in the community and responding to calls for assistance.

While some station counters are no longer open for walk-in attendance, police patrols and emergency response services continue to operate 24/7.

“It’s a shocking feeling when your hard-earned money has gone.”

Mannu thought he was paying his builder. Instead, scammers stole his $20,000 deposit.

Stories like Mannu’s are a reminder that scammers can target everyday transactions when we least expect it.

Every story shared could help protect another person.

On this day, one year ago, two of our colleagues were tragically killed in the line of duty.

Today, and every day, we remember Detective Leading Senior Constable Neal Thompson and Senior Constable Vadim de Waart-Hottart and the tragedy that occurred in Porepunkah on 26 August 2025.

We thank everyone for their support and solidarity on this difficult day.

We will remember them.

A text. A phone call. A code.

That’s all it took for scammers to steal enough money from Lindy to leave her in debt.

“They rush you through it and make you panic.”

Behind every scam report is a real person and a real story.

No one’s just a number.

Think you’d spot a scam? So did thousands of Australians.

More than 270,000 people fell victim to scams across Australia last year, so we’re urging everyone to:
🛑 Stop. Take a moment before giving your money or personal information to anyone.
👀 Check. Is the person or organisation you’re dealing with legit?
🔐 Protect. Act quickly if something feels wrong.

It’s worth just checking.

Hey! Yes, we're talking to you 👀

Passing emergency service vehicles and personnel at incidents? Slow to 40km/hr.

It keeps US safe. It keeps YOU safe.

Let’s ensure everyone gets home safely.

It takes seconds to steal a number plate. It only takes minutes to help secure one.
✅ Secure your number plates with anti-theft screws or pop rivets.
✅ Park in a garage or driveway where possible.
✅ Consider sensor lighting and CCTV at home.
✅ Park in well-lit areas when on the street.

Stolen number plates are often used to avoid identification while committing offences, which can leave vehicle owners dealing with unwanted fines and other complications.

Through our SafePL8 program, Victoria Police, SES and Neighbourhood Watch regularly attend community events to fit anti-theft screws and share practical advice on keeping your number plates secure.

Do you know this man?

We’re hoping to identify a man who police believe can assist with their enquiries into a road-rage assault in Avondale Heights earlier this year.

Investigators have been told the driver of a silver Audi A3 hatch, assaulted another driver through the driver side window at the intersection on of Milleara Road and Buckly Street on 11 May.

Police have spoken to the registered owner of the silver Audi A3 hatch who has since been charged with failing to nominate a driver.

Anyone with who can identify the man is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.
