Wyndham Police are inviting local community members to take part in an upcoming community safety forum.
The CommSafe Forum will be held on 17 August in Hoppers Crossing, where local police will be joined by Deputy Commissioner, Regional Operations Rick Nugent as well as Assistant Commissioner's Brett Curran, Lauren Callaway and Glen Weir.
The panel will discuss a range of local issues and crime trends, with an opportunity for community members to provide feedback and raise awareness on any safety issues or concerns.
Topics to be covered include:
• Family violence
• Road policing
• Youth offending
• Drugs
• Emergency Management
Any issues identified by the community may be entered in Wyndham's Community Issues Register as part of Victoria Police's Neighbourhood Policing framework. A dedicated Sergeant manages this register, allocating issues to local police officers who develop solutions in collaboration with the community and local partners.
Wyndham police are looking forward to hosting members of the local community at the CommSafe Forum, but it is important that police are always available to listen to community concerns.
The local community can speak to us when they're out and about, or contact their local police station with any areas of concern.
Residents or traders interested in attending the CommSafe Forum can do so by registering via email at [email protected].
