Policing
by Mr Stefaniak , from 161 residents:
TO THE SPEAKER AND MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY FOR THE AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY.
The petition of certain residents of the AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY draws to the attention of the ASSEMBLY that there is an URGENT NEED to retain or transfer back, experienced community police officers to serve within the Australian Capital Territory. Also the current policing levels are under strength in relation to the National average by approximately 120 POLICE OFFICERS.
Your petitioners therefore request the Assembly to call on the MINISTER FOR POLICE TO IMPLEMENT URGENT PROGRAMS to increase Police numbers in the ACT and retain or transfer back, Officers who have Community Policing experience, to serve within the Australian Capital Territory.

Also requests the Minister to make representations to Australian Post to have a mail (post) box installed at the Platypus (Ngunnawal) Shopping Centre.
The clerk having announced that the terms of the petitions would be recorded in Hansard and a copy referred to the appropriate minister, the petitions were received.
