Adjournment

Clyde North police resources

 Brad BATTIN (Berwick) (17:09): (1719) My adjournment is for the Minister for Police, and the action I seek from the Minister for Police is urgent action to get Victoria Police members at the Clyde North police station to ensure that we can protect the community out there. Since 2023 we have seen in the crime stats today there has been an 83 per cent increase in crime impacting the Clyde North area, and this is including things like aggravated burglaries, car thefts and theft from stores. We have seen so many offences happening in the area, and particularly the increase in violent offences, that we have got a genuine concern that the police members have to travel all the way from either Narre Warren or Cranbourne, and both of them have got vacancies on their rosters. I am calling for this on behalf of the police members out there, who have identified, understand and know that Clyde North has become a place where people are genuinely concerned about their own safety, and I request that the minister act on this as soon as possible to protect my community.
