Maribyrnong police are inviting the local community to complete a survey about safety issues.
The survey is for people who live, work or visit Braybrook, Footscray, Kingsville, Maidstone, Maribyrnong, Seddon, Tottenham, West Footscray and Yarraville.
People are asked to rank their top three safety concerns out of alcohol or other drugs, online safety, youth offending, safety of property and possessions, family violence, road safety and firearm safety.
They are also asked to rate how safe they feel at shopping centres, train stations, bus stops, and in streets, parks and public spaces.
Maribyrnong Local Area Commander, Acting Inspector Jason Forster said the survey would help police meet the community’s needs.
“We are dedicated to ensuring anyone within the Maribyrnong community is safe when at home, work, or out and about enjoying the great things our area has to offer,” he said.
“We’re inviting everyone in the Maribyrnong community to complete the survey to ensure we understand your needs and are providing you with a safe and welcoming place to live, work and play.
“We want to ensure our efforts and initiatives are being guided by the community we serve.”
People are also asked for their ideas of what police can do to improve safety, what police do well and how comfortable they feel about approaching police.
