POLICE LINK

The Police Link program involves police volunteers regularly visiting the Women’s and Children’s Hospital and the Flinders Medical Centre to positively engage with children who are unwell or undergoing medical treatment for serious health issues.​​The visits are well received and bring a smile to children, providing an uplifting distraction from their hospital admission.  ​​

Police officers also participate in Easter and Christmas events at the Women’s and Children’s hospital where a broad range of SAPOL sections attend, along with popular children’s characters.  Both events are a highlight for children particularly those who have lengthy hospital stays. ​​Where possible, there are 4 visits a year, including Easter, June, September (Royal Show) and December (Christmas). Police Link is proudly supported by Police Credit Union.​​
