<strong>Community</strong> <strong>Safety</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Engagement</strong><br />
Key focus areas:<br />
• Public order <strong>and</strong> safety<br />
• Crime prevention <strong>and</strong> community partnerships<br />
• Civil emergencies <strong>and</strong> major events<br />
<strong>Community</strong> safety <strong>and</strong> engagement is focused on the<br />
prevention of crime, engagement with the community<br />
<strong>and</strong> providing policing services that preserve public<br />
safety <strong>and</strong> good order during civil emergencies <strong>and</strong><br />
special events.<br />
Engaging the community is a critical component in<br />
addressing both the causes of crime <strong>and</strong> preventing<br />
crime. Over the past decade, community policing <strong>and</strong><br />
problem-oriented policing have increasingly focused<br />
on identifying the causes of crime <strong>and</strong> engaging the<br />
community in resolving crime related issues.<br />
<strong>Community</strong> engagement also helps to ensure service<br />
delivery is appropriate, focused <strong>and</strong> effective. Together,<br />
these activities contribute to developing safe <strong>and</strong> secure<br />
communities.<br />
