Crime Prevention Officers

Crime Prevention Officers assist local area commanders to develop and implement operational programs and work with other police liaison officers. Some of the other officers who CPOs work closely with are youth liaison officers and school liaison officers.

We also liaise with local schools and councils.

Inform the public about personal safety and property security. Promote awareness and understanding of community safety and crime prevention issues within the community.

We also support victims of crime by conducting security and safety assessments and suggest treatments to reduce repeat victimisation.
