Victoria Police are calling on locals to participate in the Community Sentiment Survey which will help inform and improve the initiatives delivered by police to keep communities safer.
The annual survey provides an opportunity for those who live, work and socialise in the state to share suggestions on how they would like to interact with police, and where police can focus efforts to deter crime.
This includes working with partners on local safety plans to address the issues which are most important to communities.
Brimbank Local Area Commander, Inspector Matthew Bui, said the survey is a “great opportunity for our local community members to continue informing police of what challenges they are facing regarding crime and perceptions of safety.”
“The 2024 Victoria Police Community Sentiment Survey saw only 177 responses and I want to see and encourage as many members of our local community to complete the survey,” he said.
In the coming months, Victoria Police will review feedback and share a summary of key findings on the Engage Victoria website.
“The results of this survey will help better inform our approach to issues and ensure our responses to crime or local issues are targeted,” said Inspector Bui.
The survey is available via the Engage Victoria website (the official Victorian Government consultation site) and will close Monday, June 30.
