Crime Prevention Program

By John Berger

My question is for the Minister for Crime Prevention in the other place Minister Carbines. Last week I visited Prahran police station to meet with Inspector Stamper and Senior Sergeant Perrin. We chatted about the importance of community-focused policing and engaging with key stakeholders like local councils and religious and youth groups. Recently I asked the minister to visit Camberwell police station. I am pleased to announce that a few weeks ago he took up my request to listen to the hardworking men and women who keep the City of Boroondara safe. I am proud of our record $4.5 billion investment in Victoria Police and the $1.2 million in crime prevention projects in my community of the City of Port Phillip. Only the Andrews Labor government is doing the groundwork to keep my community safe. So my question to the minister is this: please provide an update on the crime prevention programs that are designed to keep my community safe.
