CRIME PREVENTION OFFICERS
There is a Crime Prevention Officer (CPO) at each Local Area Command. These officers work closely with their communities to deliver local solutions to local issues. They coordinate the NSW Police Force's crime prevention and reduction initiatives with those of other government, welfare, business and community sectors at a local level.
COMMUNITY SAFETY PRECINCT COMMITTEES (CSPC)
CSPCs provide an opportunity for local Councils and community members to meet with Police Local Area Commanders and share their perspective on local crime and safety issues. They provide the opportunity for community members and business owners to get involved in strategies designed to address local crime concerns. They also provide an opportunity for Local Area Commanders to promote accurate local crime information and raise awareness of crime prevention approaches.
The purpose of CSPCs is to:
- Ensure Local Area Commanders are communicating to their local communities;
- Encourage community partnerships to reduce crime and the fear of crime;
- Develop local solutions to local crime in partnership with local stakeholders;
- Improve public safety and reduce the fear of crime at a local level;
- Raise understanding of the relationship between policing and crime reduction; and
- Ensure Commanders take into account local community views on police visibility, police deployment and crime hotspots when deciding police tasking and deployment.
