ChaplainWatch: Watching out for you when your good times go bad
Unique approach to serving our city:
Venture into the entertainment precincts of your city after midnight and you will be confronted by thousands of people swarming through the pubs and clubs, inhabiting the streets. The truth is someone, somewhere, will get into trouble.
The NightWatch Chaplains are there pro-actively patrolling these areas, watching out for anyone in crisis, at risk or in need.
ChaplainWatch is a not-for-profit charity that was founded by Lance Mergard to proactively address the issues and consequences of alcohol (and other drug) related anti-social behaviour, crime and violence that occur within the major entertainment precinct of Brisbane City including Fortitude Valley, the Central Business District and Caxton Street.
ChaplainWatch Offers:
- Midnight to dawn mobile patrols focusing on public safety in public spaces
- Rapid response with crisis intervention, frontline first aid, incident defusing and peace-making
- Street-wise, professional, confident, independent, non-authoritarian with decades of experience
