Community safety

Community Safety and Crime Prevention Plan 2019-2022

Creating and supporting an environment and community where its residents feel safe and secure is a priority for the Town of Mosman Park. Community safety is about more than just the level of crime that exists in a community but also about the community’s perceived level of safety. There are many factors that influence how safe people feel in a community. Improving community safety requires all sections of the community to work together and build partnerships to create a safer environment for people to work, live and play in.

The Community Safety and Crime Prevention Plan 2019-22 builds on the Town’s existing community safety activities and the Town’s previous Community Safety and Crime Prevention Plans. The Plan contains three broad strategies developed to address community concerns.

This plan was developed in consultation with stakeholders, local residents, schools, community groups and businesses to obtain the communities’ feedback about community safety and crime prevention in the Town of Mosman Park. A review of crime statistics was also undertaken to examine crime trends and factors affecting crime rates in the community.

The Home Security Rebate Scheme supports residents in taking a proactive role in deterring home burglaries within the Town by offering a rebate to subsidise the cost of installing home security devices such as intruder alarms, CCTV cameras, and security screens for windows and doors, sensor lights, keyed window locks and door deadlocks.

Rebates of up to $200 per application (or $250 for Pension or Health Care Card Holders) will be provided for new installations of the above devices when purchased and fitted by a licenced security agent (or electrician for sensor lights). Rebates may also be available for work completed up to six months prior to application.

More information and copies of the application form are available to download, from the Council administration building, or by contacting the Town on 93836600 or email admin@mosmanpark.wa.gov.au

As part of our ongoing commitment to safety within our community, the Town of Mosman Park has a number of engravers available for Mosman Park residents to use, at no cost.

To borrow an engraver, an adult with a current drivers licence will need to register their details at Council’s administration office, at which time they will be provided with an engraver. Engravers will be loaned for up to one week.

Australian Police forces recommend that owner’s valuables be engraved with their Driver’s License number prefixed by the first letter of their state of residence. This will enable faster identification of stolen goods.

The engravers are an initiative of the WA Police Service’ Neighbourhood Watch program, which is sponsored by RAC and Channel 10. The Town of Mosman Park proudly supports the program.

 

Neighbourhood Watch is facilitated by the WA Police and is aimed at making individuals aware of crime prevention initiatives and activities in and around the home, within rural communities, by the ocean and in schools.

It is about working together as a community to improve our personal safety and household security. Most importantly, it is about encouraging interaction and a sense of responsibility between neighbours and communities.

Neighbourhood Watch is about you, your local neighbourhood, the wider community and the WA Police working together to establish and maintain a safer community by:

  • reducing violence, crime and fear
  • building a safer community
  • preventing crime that affects you
  • enhancing effective communication
  • developing community spirit.
