Partnerships and Collaborations

1. Stakeholders Involved

LC Distributors provide CODE SAFE IMMOBILISER technology to industry installers for the current immobiliser trial running in FNQ.

The Queensland Police Service (QPS) is the law enforcement agency responsible for maintaining public safety and order in Queensland.

Queensland Government: The state government can provide support, funding, and policy backing for initiatives aimed at community safety.

The collaboration also extends to local businesses and community organisations, which is crucial in promoting vehicle security awareness.

By collaborating with these stakeholders, LC Distributors can utilise their connections to promote the benefits of CODE SAFE immobilisers.

This method increases awareness of the need for active vehicle protection and promotes teamwork in the fight against car theft.

The goal is to reduce car theft and trauma on our roads in Australia.

2. Objective

LC Distributors focuses on using technology to improve community safety.

CODE SAFE immobiliser feature gives vehicle owners reassurance, discourages thieves, and helps users feel safer when parking or leaving their cars unattended. LC Distributors aims to address vehicle theft issues by adding CODE SAFE car immobilisers. This technology also supports community safety, creating a complete strategy for vehicle owners to enhance their security.

LC Distributors is dedicated to improving vehicle security through community-focused efforts. Additionally, Facebook community pages provide statistics on car theft trends. These discussions help LC Distributors understand the security issues in different neighbourhoods and encourage community members to collaborate on solutions.

Through these initiatives, LC Distributors seeks to create a strong network of informed vehicle owners committed to protecting their belongings and enhancing community safety.

3. The IMMOBILISER Trial Has Been Proven Successful

The Immobiliser Trial initiated by the QPS and the State Government of Queensland has involved extensive collaboration with local communities, where residents are encouraged to participate in discussions about vehicle security and share their concerns regarding car theft. This grassroots approach raises awareness about the importance of immobilisers and fosters a sense of ownership among community members. By engaging directly with the public, LC Distributors aims to create a supportive environment where individuals feel empowered to take proactive measures in safeguarding their vehicles. This initiative is crucial in building trust and ensuring that the solutions provided are tailored to different neighbourhoods’ needs and challenges.

The success of the immobiliser trial has been underscored by a notable decrease in car theft incidents reported in participating communities. Feedback from residents indicates a growing confidence in their vehicle security, with many expressing appreciation for the proactive measures taken by LC Distributors and local law enforcement. This positive response highlights the effectiveness of CODE SAFE immobilisers and reinforces the importance of community involvement in crime prevention efforts. As more residents become advocates for vehicle security, the initiative is expected to gain momentum, encouraging wider adoption of these technologies and fostering a collective commitment to safeguarding vehicles across Queensland.

4. Community Engagement and Education

• Collaborating with local communities to educate vehicle owners about best car protection practices. This could include workshops, informational campaigns, and distribution of educational materials.
• Local law enforcement (QPS) involvement can enhance trust and credibility in educational efforts.

5. Data Sharing and Analysis

• Establish a framework for data sharing between LC Distributors, QPS, and the government to analyse trends in car theft and the effectiveness of the implemented security measures.
• Utilising data analytics to refine strategies and improve the overall approach to vehicle security.

In addition to these initiatives, LC Distributors is also focused on creating a comprehensive educational outreach program that targets various demographics within the community. This program will include tailored workshops for different age groups, emphasising the importance of vehicle security and the specific risks associated with car theft. By collaborating with schools, community centres, and local organisations, LC Distributors aims to instil a sense of responsibility among younger generations regarding vehicle safety. Furthermore, the program will utilise social media platforms to reach a broader audience, sharing tips and success stories highlighting CODE SAFE immobiliser’s engagement. This proactive approach enhances awareness and encourages community members to safeguard their vehicles actively, fostering a culture of vigilance and collective responsibility.

6. Feedback

• Creating a feedback loop where end-users (vehicle owners) can report their experiences with the security measures, providing valuable insights for future improvements.
• Regular assessments of the trial’s trial, car theft rate, and community perceptions of safety are needed.

Google Reviews – Your positive feedback as a satisfied customer is crucial to the trial’s strategy. As more residents observe a positive review resulting in tranquillity and confidence, it reinforces its effectiveness.

7. Long-term Goals

The initiative has demonstrated its effectiveness through the successful trial. There is potential for scaling it up to encompass a more extensive fleet of vehicles and expanding beyond Queensland’s regions and LGAs.

• Establishing a permanent partnership model that can be replicated for other community safety initiatives.

Individuals unable to use the initial vouchers released in June 2023 can apply for a voucher in 2025.

The collaboration between LC Distributors, the Queensland Police Service, and the Queensland government represents a proactive approach to tackling car theft and enhancing community safety. By focusing on education, technology deployment, and community engagement, this partnership can foster safer communities and empower residents to activate and protect their vehicles and actively concentrate on enhancing vehicle security to combat the rising issue of vehicle theft, particularly in Queensland, where statistics indicate a significant increase in car theft incidents.
