A NEW state-wide police campaign is providing Riverlanders access to resources on how to better protect themselves, and the surrounding community. 
South Australia Police (SAPOL) last week launched a new crime prevention campaign, aimed at promoting safety and security within the community.
The new tagline ‘Protect what matters’ reflects SAPOL’s core values and provides individuals with knowledge, resources and proactive security measures.
Through various programs and initiatives like Neighbourhood Watch, SAPOL works to empower residents, protect neighbourhoods, and prevent crime, driven by the mission to create safer communities across South Australia.
Acting officer in charge of communications and engagement branch, chief inspector Melissa Gilchrist, said the initiative aimed to have a stronger digital presence, create a sense of engagement and provide a more agile police messaging response to real-time issues being faced in the community.
“The revitalised products are accessible to the community through our digital platforms,” she said.
“We hope this will increase the reach, responsiveness and proactive measures the community can take to protect themselves and their property.”
SAPOL is retaining the key focus areas of:

• Home security.
• Personal safety.
