The Better Clarence Making a stand against crime

It is important that we continue to build on what we have achieved, and I believe the next step is empowering local members of our communities to take action and report crimes.

Brendan Blomeley, Mayor of Clarence City Council

OUR community is making a stand against the offensive behaviour of a few which violates the peace and well-being of many.

The investment by the State Government to remain tough on crime has been efficient. Recent funding from the State Government allowing for extra police presence in our city has been enormously effective.

I am proud of the recent gains we have made which have seen crime rates in Clarence reduced. We do not want to see this progress dwindle off.

Antisocial behaviour is not unique to Clarence.

Tasmania Police clamped 164 vehicles and confiscated 404 last year to help crack down on hooning.

However, this is no excuse for any of us to sit back and allow a minority group of people to create disturbances, which results in making other people - particularly the more vulnerable - feel unsafe when they are in public spaces or their private homes.

for Alderman long way to addressing head-on some of the antisocial behaviour in our key locations in the community.

These measures, while they have been successful, are just one part of the solution to a complex problem which will require a multi-pronged approach for lasting change.

What needs to be focused on now is encouraging individuals in our community to report all antisocial behaviour – particularly ‘hooning’. People driving recklessly is a concern for pockets of our community, and many other municipalities.

Reporting crimes means the authorities are aware of where and when issues are happening. This information can then lead to the allocation of funds – for not only more police – but also for more intervention programs which can help engage and educate offenders.

Many offenders are often stuck in a cycle of bad behaviour. By reporting it, others can actually help break those cycles.

In Clarence we are working collaboratively with Tasmania Police and other organisations to find meaningful solutions for our community.

This action, along with a rollout of concentrated police blitzes in the past few months, has gone a

I want everyone to feel empowered to stand against behaviour they know is wrong, and to be aware of how they can best report it.

As aptly put by Lt. General David Morrison, “the standard you walk past is the standard you accept”. It is time for all of us to take responsibility for our communities and to take action.

If you are witnessing someone hooning or being unlawful as it happens, call 131 444 immediately. Or if you wish to report hooning or dangerous driving even after it has happened, you still can - and you should!

It is unfair that a few egocentric individuals hooning on our streets, or spray-painting ugly graffiti on public and private property, or any antisocial behaviour, can bring down the reputation of whole neighbourhoods or townships.

It is not the sole responsibility of Tasmania Police to crack down on these sorts of disturbances. People who care about their community must stop accepting antisocial behaviour they know is occurring.
