2008-09 Commissioner's Foreword
The NSW Police Force is committed to continuing to drive down crime across the state. It is extremely pleasing to note that for the 24 months to June 2009 crime across New South Wales was stable or on the decrease for 16 out of 17 crime categories (Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research (BOCSAR), NSW Recorded Crime Statistics Quarterly Update, June 2009). |

Recorded crime for most crime categories is down. We discuss our policing strategies of focused crime reduction including targeting locations, operations, crime types and repeat offenders, which translated into operational results. |
The community's perception of public order problems has improved. We outline our public safety programs and strategies of reduced perception and fear of crime, reduced levels of antisocial behaviour, targeted traffic enforcement, and sharing of core messages to address fear and perception of crime.

We're cutting red tape, enhancing internal controls and delivering ongoing improvement in our information technologies. Our strategies include streamlining procedures and legislation, improving our information, communication and technology systems, and promoting good practice. |
We discuss our management structure and governance strategies. These include our new Corporate Plan 2008-12, introducing the Command Performance Accountability System (COMPASS), and establishing the Internal Audit & Review. |

This reporting year the NSW Police Force, in partnership with other government agencies, continued to provide an effective and efficient policing service across New South Wales to drive down crime and make our state safer. This year we again invested considerable resources in reducing alcohol related crime and antisocial behaviour, including the targeting of hotspots. It is most gratifying to note that there has been an 86% drop in 'glassings' at the Top 48 premises this reporting year.
