This year was the final year of our five year strategic plan, The Way Ahead 2003–2008. Over the life of this plan we have delivered impressive results, and I am pleased to report that we continued to build on these achievements in 2007–08. One of the key aims of The Way Ahead 2003–2008 was to decrease the overall crime rate, which is measured per 100,000 population, by five per cent. We have surpassed that measure, with the overall crime rate decreasing by 16.6 per cent over the life of the plan. In 2007–08, the overall crime rate decreased by Reducing actual crime and road trauma are 1.9 per cent from the rate reported at the end important measures of achievement for Victoria of 2006–07, marking the fifth consecutive year Police. However, how safe Victorians feel in their that the crime rate has dropped. However, we do community is essential to our overall success. In acknowledge that this year our members have faced 2007–08, 91.8 per cent of Victorian respondents well publicised challenges in relation to public safety to the independently conducted National Survey and order particularly around licensed premises. The of Community Satisfaction with Policing (NSCSP) organisation, working with government, responded felt ‘safe’ or ‘very safe’ out and about in their own to these challenges, by targeting anti-social neighbourhood. This is a very pleasing result, which behaviour in and around licensed premises through reflects our efforts in both responding to crime and operational activities and legislative measures. We proactively working to prevent crime. have also responded to challenges in major crime It is also important to know if the community thinks areas. This year we enhanced our focus and capacity we are doing our job well, and importantly, where we for dealing with illicit drugs, fraud and e-crime. We might not be meeting service standards. In 2007–08, also continued to see achievements resulting from NSCSP results tell us that 83 per cent of Victorians our efforts in targeting organised crime. who had direct, professional contact with police Safety on Victoria’s roads continues to be a were ‘satisfied’ or ‘very satisfied’ with the service significant area of focus for Victoria Police. While they received. We also know that 82.4 per cent of the there was a reduction in the road toll over the life community have confidence in police. While these of The Way Ahead, sadly 333 people lost their lives are very good results, we will continue to focus on on the road in 2007–08. This only underlines our improving the service we provide to the community. commitment to reducing road deaths and road trauma. We continued to invest significant resources in road policing operations that tackle the identified causes of road deaths and road trauma, such as excessive speed and alcohol and drug impaired driving. The success of the Vehicle Impoundment Enforcement Program, which enables police to take direct action against certain road safety offences and ‘hoon’ type driving, also contributed to our ongoing commitment to road safety. page 3 victoria police annual report 2007–08 It is important to acknowledge the significant outlook for 2008–09 contribution that our partners and the community In 2008 we launched our new five year strategic plan, make to Victoria Police’s achievements. We work The Way Ahead 2008–2013. Over the next five years closely with our colleagues in the emergency we will focus on three key priorities: a safer Victoria, services, often in demanding circumstances, and connecting the community and valuing our people. thank them for their ongoing support. We would also like to thank the many government and community To contribute to a safer Victoria, we will focus groups throughout the state who we work with to on further reducing crime and improving public understand and develop policing strategies for the safety and road safety.

  • Victoria Police Submission to the Royal Commission Into Family Violence
    SUBM.0923.001.0001 Victoria Police Submission to the Royal Commission into Family Violence Introduction Victoria Police welcomes the opportunity the Royal Commission into Family Violence provides to examine policing interventions and the broader system responses to the scourge of family violence. We recognise this is a unique environment for considering holistic change with: an Australian-first Royal Commission; a dedicated Minister for the Prevention of Family Violence; the prioritisation of family violence at the state and national levels; and a groundswell of community support for – and expectation of – reform. We have therefore used this occasion to challenge ourselves on the fundamentals of the existing system and to think creatively – but responsibly – about potential future directions. Victoria Police understanding of the focus of the Royal Commission Victoria Police understands the Royal Commission’s Terms of Reference and Issues Paper have a future focus on ensuring that Victoria has a system that: reduces the incidence of family violence; hold perpetrators to account; and supports victims in an effective, efficient and sustainable way. Specifically, the Terms of Reference require the Royal Commission to: provide practical recommendations to stop family violence; establish best practice for prevention, early intervention, victim support, perpetrator accountability; have systemic responses to family violence; better integrate and coordinate efforts; and recommend how best to evaluate and measure results. Victoria Police notes the significant focus on changing community attitudes to family violence. Our submission aims to support the Royal Commission by drawing on our work and experience in responding to family violence over the last decade to advise: what works, and why; what is not working, and why; and what system improvements can be made in the short, medium and longer term.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Victorian Public Service Enterprise Agreement 2020 (Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Act). It has been made by the State of Victoria. The Agreement is a single enterprise agreement. [2] Supplementary material provided with the application discloses that during the access period the employer became aware that 76 of the 50,719 employees to be covered by the Agreement had not been notified of the time and place at which the vote was to occur and the voting method to be used by the start of the access period as required by s.180(3) of the Act. The same 76 employees had likewise not been provided with a copy of, or access to, the written text of the Agreement as required s.180(2) of the Act. The Applicant submits that the employees concerned were provided with a copy of, or had access to, the written text of the Agreement and were notified of the time and place at which the vote was to occur and the voting method to be used prior to the conclusion of the access period. In all the circumstances, particularly the large number of employees covered by the Agreement and the very small number affected (significantly less than 1% of the cohort covered by the Agreement), notwithstanding the error, I am satisfied that there has been compliance.
