Take a Public Health Approach

Deliver a systemwide partnership

Police & Public Health Consensus

• By working together and intervening early to address the common factors that bring people into contact with the police and criminal justice system and lead to poor health we can improve public safety, prevent offending and reoffending, reduce crime and help to improve outcomes for individuals and the wider community.
