Victoria Police will host a Neighbourhood Policing Forum at Gisborne on February 20.
Local services and community members are encouraged to attend to discuss issues important in their community.
The forum will explore several topics including: current crime trends and crime prevention, family violence, young people, road policing, and drugs and drug-related crime.
Acting Sergeant Jordan Knight said the forum was a chance to engage with the community.
“There will be members with various backgrounds to answer questions and give advice – there’s not going to be a shortage of experience,” he said.
“Members of the community can engage with us on issues that are important to them. They can ask us anything and everything. They can also learn things they can do to help prevent crime.
“Whatever comes out of the meeting will also help us identify any crime that we are not yet informed of.”
The Neighbourhood Policing Forum will be run by a Victoria Police panel and questions will be taken from the audience throughout the event.
The forum will be held at Gisborne Mechanics Institute Hall, 8 Hamilton Street, on Thursday February 20 from 6pm to 9pm (doors open at 5.45pm).
Participants must register by sending their details to: NHP-KYNETON-OIC@police.vic.gov.au
People may submit a question prior to the forum via: app.sli.do/…/xznLpx93qF1BKBPr3nCo8F/live/questions
