The Shellharbour Crime Prevention Partnership is a joint strategy between NSW Police, Housing NSW, our Rangers and our Community Safety Officer to help reduce crime and fear of crime within our LGA. This monthly meeting focuses on all aspects of crime prevention including hot spots, early intervention, situational, social and developmental.
In partnership with NSW Police, we conduct monthly Community Safety Pop Up meetings. The informal meetings are linked with Crime Prevention Partnership meetings, presenting valuable information about individual suburbs and offering more opportunities for residents to have personal contact with police and staff. Check out our events calendar and follow us on Facebook to find out the date of the next meeting.
To request a Community Safety Pop Up in your neighbourhood, reach out to our Community Safety Officer via email: council@shellharbour.nsw.gov.au or phone 4221 6111.
