Safety and preventing crime

As well as responding to crime when it happens, Queensland Police Service (QPS) works with communities to prevent crime and make Queensland a safer place to live, work and play.

Our crime prevention policies, strategies and programs are guided by the National Crime Prevention Framew​ork​ developed by the Australian Institute of Criminology.

This section of our website outlines some of the programs QPS has to help people in Queensland stay safer, address anti-social behaviours and reduce crime. We work together with government, businesses, community groups and individuals to deliver these programs.
