Crime prevention and safety awareness

Staying safe

Resources are available for emergencies, police assistance and anonymous reporting.

Get help when you need it most

We work with residents, community organisations, Victoria Police and partner agencies to help create safe, inclusive and connected communities. We support community safety through:

  • prevention and early intervention
  • youth engagement
  • community education
  • place-based initiatives that build resilience and wellbeing.

While Victoria Police are responsible for law enforcement and investigating crime, we focus on preventing harm and strengthening community connections.
