Submission to the Victoria Police Field Contact Policy and Cross Cultural Training consultation

Publication date: 26 July 2013

This submission responds to the Victoria Police’s 2013 Field Contact Policy and Cross Cultural Training community consultation.

The consultation sought to generate discussion and feedback to Victoria Police in order to improve members’ engagement with and understanding of Victoria’s diverse communities.

Our submission focuses on how Victoria Police can best work with the community by addressing several needs:

  • The need for police to interact in a positive way with the community.
  • The need for organisational capacity to enable positive engagement throughout the community by police.
  • The need for transparent and accountable activity by police.
  • The need for all police practices and operating models to be evidence-based.

Federal Pre-Budget Submission 2024-25
Jesuit Social Services calls on the Federal government to devote resources towards reducing inequity and exclusion, and ensuring people on the margins are given every opportunity to lead healthy and fulfilling lives. The upcoming budget must provide meaningful cost of living relief, especially for people on the lowest incomes, and must provide adequate and secure funding for the community service organisations that are dealing with unprecedented levels of demand in the face of events such as the worsening housing crisis.
