VICTORIA POLICE PUTS CRIME ONLINE |
A new online news site will keep communities informed of crime in their local neighbourhood and policing issues impacting their lives, Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Simon Overland recently announced.
He said he hoped the regular release of crime statistics will make communities aware of what is happening in their local area so they can take preventative measures.
“We know that a majority of people access the internet both at home and at work. Education is very important. If community members can see and learn what types of crimes are being committed in their backyard, they can work with police in preventing these crimes,” Mr Overland said.

Every year, one in 20 Australians fall victim to a scam.
“Most people know someone who has been scammed or lost money to fraud, but most people still don’t think it will happen to them, but anyone can be the target of a scam,” said Mr Kell.

Preventing Identity-Related Fraud |
|
Identity-related fraud is a growing concern in Australia. Today it
is possible for some-one to obtain a range of identifying documents
and/or information through fraud, deception or theft. Completely false
documents can also be created using stolen personal information. These
documents can then be misused in order to profit at our expense. For
example, bank account details, date of birth and tax file numbers can
be used to take funds out of bank accounts or fraudulently apply for
loans.
