Knox TRIP
The combined Knox emergency services – CFA, SES, police and ambulance – will present a hard-hitting roads program at Wantirna City Life Church on Wednesday 7 August.
Drivers aged 18 to 25 are over-represented in serious injury and collisions where lives are lost on the road.
The Knox Teenage Road Information Program (TRIP) is designed to address the identified risks of alcohol, drugs, speed, inexperience, distraction and peer group pressure, and provide information and examples of how to change behaviour.
Emergency services personnel who have witnessed the devastation caused first hand deliver the program.
As a united team, the emergency services of Knox aim to educate and encourage young drivers to make safer decisions on the road.
To find out more details and book, visit the Knox TRIP page on Facebook.
Crack down on hunting
The Game Management Authority is teaming up with Victoria Police to target illegal hunting and spotlighting across Victoria this week.
The GMA advised hunters to make sure they were doing the right thing and acting responsibly.
“Only hunt in areas where hunting is permitted, don’t hunt after dark and make sure you have a current Game Licence,” a statement said.
“Remember to always follow the firearms safety rules and never fire at anything that you can’t identify beyond all doubt.”
Game hunting offences, such as illegal spotlighting, will not be tolerated and offenders can be fined or prosecuted, have their equipment seized and/or lose their Game and Firearms Licences.
Report suspected game hunting offences to the GMA at bit.ly/2AWPjFH.
Tragic end to search
The body of missing hiker and Ferntree Gully man Jeremy Boyden was found in Victoria’s alpine region after an almost week-long search.
His body was found about 8am on 25 July near Upper Dargo Road, in the far eastern Victorian town of Dargo.
Police are not treating the 23-year-old’s death as suspicious and will prepare a report for the coroner.
The discovery came after police found Boyden’s jack russell terrier Rocky alive earlier the same morning.
