Please sign Homeless Persons Union Victoria’s urgent petition calling for the immediate end of the ‘Community Safety Officer’ program in the City of Melbourne, following revelations officers were given explicit directions to use violence against unhoused community members.

Shocking revelations from a whistleblower who was employed as a ‘community safety officer’ in the City of Melbourne.

An explosive story published in the Age this morning confirms the reality on the ground that the City of Melbourne has been silencing about its dangerous security program. Meanwhile in Footscray, Maribyrnong Council’s security patrols program has been plagued by the same violence and denial.

An escalation in cruelty just as the nights get cold, wet and windy. Following the trend already happening in St Kilda and the Melbourne CBD. The average life expectancy for a person experiencing homelessness is 44 years… what is Council thinking, and is a sign of what their “non security” model will
