The Office of Crime Prevention’s programs and initiatives are proving successful in reducing crime and have achieved significant results.

• Since its implementation in 2003, the Burglar Beware program has seen burglary rates decline at one of the fastest rates in Australia.

• During Oct – Dec 2008, 893 calls were made to the Graffiti Hotline.

• Over 4500 pieces of information have been received by police and in the last 18 months, more than 200 arrests were made as a direct result of Eyes on the Street intelligence.

• The Northbridge Policy is credited with a 35 per cent drop in the number of unsupervised juveniles roaming around Northbridge and a significant fall in antisocial behaviour in its first three years of operation.

• In 2008, over 5000 Leavers wristbands were sold to some 6000 students headed to the South West, and approximately 1400 wristbands for Rottnest Leavers celebrations were sold.
