From the Chief Commissioner:
Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Simon Overland recently announced. a new online news site that will keep communities informed of crime in their local neighbourhood and policing issues impacting their lives.
He said he hoped the regular release of crime statistics will make communities aware of what is happening in their local area, so they can take preventative measures.
"If community members can see and learn what types of crimes are being committed in their backyard, they can work with police in preventing these crimes,"
In addition to the crime statistics, Victoria Police News includes official traffic updates, witness appeals, CCTV footage of incidents in which police are seeking public assistance and other police news of interest to the community.
Mr Overland said "Victoria Police and the community had achieved significant reductions in crime over the past eight years".
"I hope Victoria Police News will help the community to work with us to address these challenges and share the responsibility of collectively reducing crime."

Home Security:
When window locks and door deadlocks are fitted it means the would be burglar has to break the glass and climb in through a broken window, which creates noise and causes a delay which increases the chance of being seen. The deadlocks prevent the doors from being opened. This means that after gaining entry, any goods that the criminal intends to steal have to be carried out through the broken window, with the dangers that entails. Remember do not leave the keys to the door or window locks in the house while you are out.
Door To Door Sales:
Neighbourhood Watch Incorporated does not endorse any organization to provide door to door products or services. You should be wary of any individual who states otherwise. Always check the identification of the person. Physically read their ID and contact their supervisor if unsure.
You do not have to let anyone into your home, and you are under no obligation to purchase any Product offered for sale. Don’t be pressured into buying anything you don’t want, and if someone does approach you purporting to be authorised by NHW, contact the Neighbourhood Watch State Co-ordination Office on 9247 5311
