Follow-up of Police Community Sentiment Survey event with the Police Association …

Posted on by

The event had a very good discussion about the Victoria Police Community Sentiment Survey 2023 and a variety of other topics, but the most heated ones were again: safety, and injecting rooms. It’s very clear the CBD community is very frustrated with the current situation. The indignation was very evident.

Thank you to Victoria Police, and The Police Association Victoria for your participation, City of Melbourne, and Bourke Hill Precinct Association for your presence and collaboration.

Thank you also to all of our members, guests, and friends who attended and participated at the event.

Posted on by

Residents 3000 are pleased to invite you to our next Forum 3000 event, which will be held at the Kelvin Club, 14-30 Melbourne Place (off Russell Street) on Thursday, 3rd August 2023, at 6:00pm.

The annual Victoria Police Community Sentiment Survey 2023 was circulated from 31st March to 7th May 2023.

Finally the results are out, and Dale Huntington, Inspector, Melbourne East Local Area Commander (Melbourne East & Southbank) has kindly offered to present those results to our community at our next Forum 3000 event.

If you live, work, or socialise in Victoria, you had your say about your safety concerns, preferences when engaging with police, and experiences of dealing with the police in your community, and had answered the sentiment survey.

Just to give you a hint, Victorian residents have told the Police their top five safety concerns:

2023

  1. Safety in public places
  2. Safety of my property and possessions
  3. Road safety
  4. Drugs and alcohol
  5. Cybercrime or online safety

2022

  1. Safety in public places
  2. Drugs and alcohol
  3. Safety of my property and possessions
  4. Road safety
  5. Family violence

We also invited Wayne Gatt, Chief Executive Officer of The Police Association Victoria for a Q&A session with the public on how the community can better engage and support the police to oversee the current safety issues in our neighbourhood.

The registration table opens at 6:00pm, the guest presentations start at 6:30pm.
Finger food will be served at the event. Drinks available from the Kelvin Club bar.
