Policing

• The Ferny Grove Station  3851 4499 of the Queensland Police Service is in The Grove, and quite a few members of the Police live in The Grove. 
• Neighbourhood Watch is active in The Grove.
• New laws for neighbourhood disputes
• New laws are currently being drafted by the Queensland State Government, changing The Dividing Fences Act 1953. There has been an extensive, state-wide Review of Neighbourly Relations of some of the main causes of neighbourhood disputes, and the remedies currently available to deal with disputes.
  
• Attorney General Cameron Dick said community members need a clear path and practical remedies to help avoid, reduce and resolve disputes with their neighbours around common issues of dividing fences and nuisance trees. At the end of the day we want to keep people out of the courts, by ensuring they have a clear understanding of their reights, and accessible mechanisms to resolve disputes amicably, as good neighbours.
  
• The government has Dispute Resolution Centres which offer free mediation services to help parties solve their difference without having to go to court.
  
• The Attorney General's Office also offers tips to people on how to raise issues of cocern with their neighbour through its neighbourhood mediation kit. If people know their rights and responsibilities, they can work together to resolve disputes before they escalate.
