Two community safety rangers

Safety and rangers

We work closely with various agencies (including WA Police) to enhance community safety. We run several community safety initiatives and leverage initiatives led by partner organisations, such as:

The Community Safety Ranger team operates from 7 am until 7 pm, seven days a week and can be contacted via 9267 9267.

In addition to conducting proactive patrols of the city, the team also responds to matters such as dogs barking, wandering or dog attacks, cats on private property, nuisances or hazards caused by livestock, investigating abandoned vehicles, residential parking matters, and reducing illegal dumping throughout the city.
