Police have released the key issues from the 2023 community sentiment survey.
The 2023 Victoria Police survey ran between Friday, March 31 and Sunday, May 7 on the Hobsons Bay Police Service Area Eyewatch Facebook page.
According to police. almost 110,000 responses were received.
Police said the survey was designed to help identify the issues that matter most to the local community.
The key issues identified by the community in the Hobsons Bay, Maribyrnong and Wyndham areas were safety in public places, road safety, safety of my property possessions and drugs and alcohol.
The survey also asked respondents to submit their ideas to improve community safety. Top ideas across the state included more police presence and patrols in public places and on the road, increased night patrolling, more CCTV and security cameras and better lighting on street and public places, and more work to address drug-related crime.
Police will work with their partners to come up with initiatives to address the communities safety concerns in line with the Neighbourhood Policing Framework.
