Victoria Police is calling on East Gippsland residents and local service providers to join a community-focused dialogue at the upcoming Neighbourhood Policing Forum, scheduled for this Thursday, May 28, at the Bairnsdale RSL.
The forum is designed as an open platform for community members to engage directly with police regarding the safety issues and concerns most relevant to the local region.
A panel of Victoria Police members will lead the discussion, exploring several key priority areas, including:
– Current crime trends and practical crime prevention strategies.
– Young people
– Family violence
– Road policing
– Drugs and drug-related crime
The event aims to be highly interactive, with the police panel taking questions from the audience throughout the afternoon to ensure the conversation remains driven by community needs.
In addition to the live Q&A session, community members are encouraged to submit questions prior to the forum to ensure specific topics can be addressed in detail by the panel.
The forum is part of a broader commitment to the Neighbourhood Policing model, which focuses on transparency, local presence, and collaborative problem-solving to create a safer Victoria.
