To the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly of the Australian Capital Territory-this petition of certain residents of the Australian Capital Territory draws to the attention of the Assembly: a) There is currently a lack of police officers present in the suburbs of Hawker, Page and Scullin. b) Residents in these suburbs are experiencing an increase in petty and preventable crimes. c) The primary mechanism to solving this issue is increasing the presence of ACT Policing officers in the suburbs of Hawker, Page and Scullin, by promoting more patrols and increased numbers.
Your petitioners, therefore, request the Assembly to call on the Government to increase the number of ACT Policing officers in Hawker, Page and Scullin, and ensure that regular patrols are provided by police officers on foot and in police vehicles to increase safety for citizens.
