The next five years
The next five years will bring changes in how we live, work and connect.
Victoria's increasing population
Victoria’s increasing population means:
- more diversity in community
- more people on roads, bike paths and footpaths
- more demand for homes
- more people in our regional centres
- more economic pressures.
Changes to work and life
At the same time, work and life is shifting online and becoming more flexible, meaning:
- home and local communities are becoming more central to people’s lives
- changing demand for public transport
- increased expectations around access to and quality of digital services
- more risks for people to be harmed online and out of sight.
What this means for Victoria Police
- Changing community needs will need new policing responses.
- More people living in rural and metropolitan areas of Victoria will mean there is an increasing need for policing responses across the state.
- Focus on services designed to reduce engagement with the justice system.
- Need for partnerships to build capability, including to counter cybercrime.
- Increasing cross-sector approaches to community interactions and response services.
Our vision for keeping you safe
As our community changes, Victoria Police will need to evolve.
We want a Victoria where you are safe and you don’t have to think about what we’re doing to make that happen.
How we will deliver our vision
We will deliver our vision through:
Exceptional policing services
Victoria is a proudly diverse state and how we engage and connect with our community is critical.
Professional people
We have extraordinary people who want to learn, develop and have an impact.
Strategic partnerships
We cannot do this alone.
Strong partnerships with the community, government and business will be key to our success.
Keeping Victoria safe
Safe:
- in our homes
- on the roads
- in emergencies
- in community
- for everyone.
