High Performance Policing

Tasmanians continue to rate Tasmania Police and its services higher than the national average.

Through Tasmania Together, the State’s community based vision, Tasmanians state they want a community where people feel safe, and are safe, in all aspects of their lives.

Tasmanians report that they feel increasingly safe in their homes alone and in their neighbourhood during the day and after dark, comparing favourably with the Australia-wide population. Information was sought by Roy Morgan Research for the National Survey of Community Satisfaction with Policing on whether the public felt safe at home and in their neighbourhood.

Tasmanians consistently feel safer than in previous years.

• 95% of Tasmanians feel safe at home alone during the day, and 87% after dark.
• 93% of Tasmanians feel safe walking or jogging in their neighbourhood during the day, and 68% after dark.

These figures from the National Survey of Community Satisfaction with Policing 2006-07 are utilised by the Tasmania Together Board to measure safety at home and in the local neighbourhood, during the day and after dark.
