COMMUNITY members and local businesses in some of Ballarat’s fringe areas are invited to attend a policing forum to talk with local officers about what is important for the area.<\/p>\n

Moorabool police service area, which includes Moorabool, Golden Plains and Hepburn local government areas, will be holding a forum on Tuesday 26 November at Bacchus Marsh Public Hall.<\/p>\n

The forum will cover topics including current crime trends and crime prevention, family violence, young people, road policing, and drugs and drug related crime.<\/p>\n

A Victoria Police panel will be present, and questions will be taken from the audience.<\/p>\n

“It’s basically just an opportunity for local services, businesses and communities to talk about issues that are important to the community,” said Inspector Nicole Cook, Moorabool local area commander.<\/p>\n

“It’s based a lot on the information that comes from our community sentiment survey which is open to the public.”<\/p>\n

Ms Cook encouraged community members to come along to ensure Victoria Police have an accurate picture of local concerns.<\/p>\n

“We really want to encourage people’s attendance because their attendance is what’s going to make it a success,” she said.<\/p>\n

“We all work together; it is a community response, and we need to know what the issues are<\/p>\n

“We also need to be able to speak to each other and all work together.”<\/p>\n
