Reason for this Petition

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 at the Kippax Group Centre.
b) This has led to an increase in petty and preventable crimes against businesses, as well as intimidation of shoppers, who are afraid of using the Centre at certain times.
c) The primary mechanism to solving this issue is increasing the presence of police officers at Kippax, with more patrols and increased numbers.

Requested Actions

Your petitioners, therefore, request the Assembly call on the Government to increase the number of police officers at the Kippax Group Centre and ensure that regular patrols are provided by police officers on foot and in police vehicles to increase safety for citizens.
