Presentations are not able to be changed, edited or combined to suit the audience. If the issue is of a serious nature a request can be forwarded to communityrequests@afp.gov.au asking for a police officer to attend the school and address the specific issue.

Do I have to book three sessions, or can I just book one?


Schools are encouraged to book three sessions at the beginning of the year, two if they book mid-year and one if they book at the end of the year. By booking early each year, you will ensure Constable Kenny can visit on the day and time you require. Childcare centres and preschools are only required to make one booking but can book more if they wish. Make a booking today.
