Our Annual Gala celebrates our friendships, networks, connections and achievements over the past year. We thank Bankstown Sports Club for hosting the event.
Bankstown Police enjoyed very positive community engagement with the businesses and shopping community in Little Saigon, Old Bankstown Plaza. It was great to see people smiling and getting their photos taken with the police horses and while sitting in the Highway Patrol car.

the Police certainly look forward to continuing meeting and working with the Bankstown community.
