ACT Policing is committed to protecting the safety of the community and will continue to work with the relevant Government agencies and non-government partners to ensure a collaborative approach to supporting victim survivors of family violence.
ACT Policing treats all reports of assault seriously and invests every available effort in providing a safe community for ACT residents.
ACT Policing undertakes education and prevention strategies and works with community organisations to educate the community on personal safety, which includes measures to mitigate the risk of becoming a victim of crime.
This financial year to date (1 July 2021 to 31 March 2022) there were 2,573 family violence related incidents, including 937 family violence related assaults, reported to ACT Policing.
