It would be nice to mention how the name of the city should be pronounced. I'm assuming that should be pronounced BRIZ-b'n, same as the city of Brisbane, Australia, but can someone confirm this? Andyabides 00:46, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Nope, not around here (Bay Area): Briz-bane for us. We ain't aussies. (Can't speak for the Aussies among us, though.) --ILike2BeAnonymous 19:02, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Brisbane has a notorious police force. It is almost guaranteed that if you work in the large Sierra Point Office Park you will be pulled over at least once. The officer to population ratio is probably one of the highest in the country and the police have a very large presence in the Sierra Point Office Park and downtown Brisbane. Needless to say, there is very little crime, and the worst offenses are typically carried out by four legged creatures.
