Officer: Director of Administration and Community Services
Application
To consider the status report on the Security Watch Services statistics for the period of November
2012 to February 2013 and make recommendations to Council based on the information provided.
Background
Security Watch Services Statistics for the City of Bayswater are presented to the Advisory
Committee on a quarterly basis. Statistics are summarised from the official incident reports and
presented as a graphical representation with any relevant information that explains variation to the
expected outcomes.
Staff register Action Requests against categories that were developed when the City of Bayswater
Security Watch Services were introduced. Graffiti has been added to the report as it reflects the
number of graffiti incidents reported by security officers.
Comment
City of Bayswater Security Watch dealt with:
708 security related action requests throughout November 2012;
715 security related action requests throughout December 2012;
804 security related action requests throughout January 2013; and
710 security related action requests throughout February 2013.
For the current financial year to date the City of Bayswater Security Watch Service has dealt with
a total of 5,682 Action Requests, an increase of 48 for same period last year. Of these Action
Requests, 3,507 were as a result of Criminal Damage (Graffiti) reports to Technical Services.
The increase in action requests over the January 2013 period reflect responses by Security
Officers to parking issues, an increase in patrol requests by residents over the holiday period and
an increase in graffiti reports.
There has also been a continued focus on disorderly conduct in and around The RISE, and the
Maylands business precinct. In a joint operation with the Bayswater Police, the people camping
in the area were issued with move on notices, and infringements issued for street drinking.
The operation resulted following a meeting between the City of Bayswater and the WA Police
Western Metropolitan District Superintendent and a subsequent meeting with police at the City of
Bayswater in January 2013.
