Safer Auckland City

Safer Auckland City (SAC) is a team within Auckland City Council that works with specific community partners and deals with crime reduction and community safety. SAC is a partnership between Auckland City, the Auckland City District Police, the Crime Prevention Unit (Ministry of Justice) and Ngati Whatua o Orakei. SAC administers many aspects of the New Zealand Governments Crime Reduction Strategy. It's work covers the following areas:

  • community safety (which includes projects associated with alcohol and responsible practices, homelessness action plan, and an employers response to domestic violence)
  • environmental safety (including crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED) assessments, car park building safety accreditation and the formation of pedestrian lighting standards)
  • reduction in dwelling burglary
  • reduction in vehicle theft.

Vision of Safer Auckland City:

"Auckland: a safe, secure and crime-free city where all peoples in the community are valued and respected."
"He taone pai a Akarana, horekau e whakamaua I te hara mo nga tangata katoa whanui e whakateitei ana I o ratou tikanga noho."

The City Safe plan has been developed by Safer Auckland City, who will also be responsible for it's management and monitoring.
