Recognising the role we all play in keeping our communities safe from illicit activities, TasPorts, as custodians of the State’s multiport network, plays a crucial role in identifying suspicious behaviour.
TasPorts’ dedicated security personnel are at the forefront of this work, says TasPorts CEO, Anthony Donald.
“Utilising our network of over 200 cameras across the State, TasPorts’ trained security team performs regular sweeps of our secure port zones as well as community areas. They then work collaboratively with the appropriate agencies to manage any suspicious activities identified,” said Mr Donald.
Mr Donald also emphasised the importance of community vigilance and everyone doing their part.
“TasPorts supports the work of Crime Stoppers Tasmania in providing people the chance to anonymously give any information on illegal or criminal activity,” said Mr Donald. “If you see something or hear something, please contact Crime Stoppers or your local authority. In doing so, you are helping to keep our communities safe from the often devastating effects of illicit drugs.”
Crime Stoppers Week 2024 is a crucial initiative aimed at addressing the significant impact of drug crime on our community. For 30 years, Crime Stoppers Tasmania’s goal has been to encourage Tasmanians to speak up and report suspicious activities anonymously, helping to create a safer Tasmania for everyone.
This campaign is not about targeting users of illicit drugs. Crime Stoppers Tasmania asks that the community support those affected by drug use and encourage them to seek the appropriate professional help.
