Education & Safety Campaigns

About Crime Prevention Education

Community Safety Education campaigns are a fundamental part of the City of Sydney’s Safe City crime prevention strategy. The campaigns respond to community and business concerns regarding opportunistic theft, namely steal from person and steal from motor vehicle offences.

Recent data suggests that Safe City campaigns in conjunction with Police initiatives have been effective in reducing theft in the City of Sydney. See Safe City Program for more information.

Developed in consultation with police, the campaigns provide simple reminders to visitors and residents in the City of Sydney local government area to take precautions to protect their personal property from theft.

The new campaigns are 'Gone in a Flash,' targeting steal from person offences and 'Stop Theft' targeting steal from motor vehicle offences, these campaigns are also supported by the NSW Attorney-General's Department. You can download the 'Gone in a Flash' and 'Stop Theft' flyers as PDF documents below.

Campaign materials are available in a variety of forms and have been widely distributed to all licensed venues in the local government area, as well as other public places such as foodcourts and libraries. Materials are available in:

  • A4 posters
  • A3 posters
  • Drink Coasters
  • Bookmarks.  

Campaign material targeting steal from motor vehicle offences have also been produced as A4 aluminium signage that has been installed on light posts, walls and other visible spots in theft 'hotspots'. City of Sydney parking meters also show an anti-theft message.

Campaigns will be displayed in street furniture across the City of Sydney as well as in local press advertisements.
