(4) ACT Policing employs an intelligence-led approach to crime. North and South district members attend shopping centres identified as locations of interest or in response to reported incidents. During these visits shop keepers and business owners are consulted to establish their concerns and to identify potential resolutions. Additionally, both districts pro-actively patrol shopping centres, bus interchanges and surrounding public areas and focus on interacting with the community and the identification and resolution of anti social or criminal behaviour. To identify the number of times this has occurred would require manual data extraction and the examination of individual records and is too resource intensive to answer in the given timeframe.

(7) ACT Policing in partnership with the ACT Department of Education and Training has refocused the delivery of information sessions/lectures to high school students. The new approach is to present a one day seminar, which has a number of speakers, including police, to all students from a particular year range. All ACT students in this year range will attend the seminar in a 12 month period and the topics will be set around personal safety, road safety and party smart themes. Drug lectures are currently delivered by teaching staff within high schools in partnership with the Red Cross, ensuring the focus is from a health perspective and not a punitive perspective. ACT Policing participates in teacher development days to ensure that information delivered to the students supports their curriculum and is consistent with crime prevention initiatives and principles and reflects the safety of the broader community.

ACT Policing continues to attend high schools to provide Crime Prevention through Environmental Design assessments, deliver lectures/information sessions as requested, and to provide advice on specific issues.

Community policing visits to high schools occur for a variety of reasons. To establish the number of times these visits have occurred at each school within the last 12 months would require manual data extraction and the examination of individual records and is too resource intensive to answer in the given timeframe.
