Free identification wristbands that help reunite lost children with their parents are once again available at the Ekka, Police Minister Mark Ryan announced today.
The wristbands which help to reunite lost children with their parents contributed to returning almost 100 children at the 2018 event.
Minister Ryan said the Ekka grounds are so big and busy, keeping track of young ones can be challenging.
“Make use of the officers on hand at the show in communicating a safety strategy with your child and acquiring their identification wristbands.
“Ultimately, we want everyone who visits the show to be able to enjoy themselves whilst staying safe.
“With a little bit of planning and caution, we hope everyone has a fantastic time at this year’s Ekka,” the Minister said.
Officers are expecting many visitors to the Ekka Police Station this year after distributing approximately 15,000 wristbands throughout last year’s Ekka.
