Aside from being visibly present, the CSS also does a lot of behind the scenes work in your community which is improving the safety and security of your local neighbourhood.
Here are just some of the benefits the CSS provides to you as a resident of the City of Melville:
- Peace of mind when you are on holiday that someone is looking out for your property. Did you know the CSS offer a holiday watch patrol service for all City of Melville residents at no additional cost? To register or for more information click here.
- Extra eyes and ears in your community which means there is more information and intelligence passed onto police which can assist in the apprehension of offenders. Did you know in the last 12 months our CSS Officers have passed over 700 reports with information onto the WA Police?
- A safer more secure community through highly visible and proactive patrols. Our clearly branded CSS vehicles dissuade offenders because of the increased risk of being seen and reported to police.
- A service that deters and prevents crime through actively targeted patrols to hot spot areas. Our CSS Officers receive daily crime statistics from WA Police which they analyse to identify hot spot crime areas. We respond by targeting extra patrols to these areas to deter and prevent further crime occurring there.
- A wealth of community safety and crime prevention knowledge on hand 24 hours a day 7 days a week. You can contact the CSS 24 hours a day 7 days a week for advice or information on community safety and crime prevention.
- Strengthened communities and an improved perception of safety through support of the local Neighbourhood Watch group and participation and attendance at local events.
- Improved neighbourhood amenity and visual aesthetics in your community through reporting of graffiti for rapid removal.
- Community education on safety and crime prevention to empower you to make safer choices in your daily life.
