Community Wellbeing
Mosman Council works in collaboration with local police (North Shore Police Area Command), community organisations, emergency services and support services to improve public safety, reduce crime and maintain Mosman as a safe community.
Crime Prevention
Closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras are located at Council facilities to enhance community safety and reduce crime by deterring potential offenders and assisting police in the detection and prosecution of offenders. Council is also committed to prompt removal of graffiti and prevention of vandalism.
