Govt doubles financial support in crime prevention fund

From Checkpoint, 5:19 pm on 21 April 2023

Despite the government doubling its support for retail crime some businesses say the process is flawed.

Today the government announced a $9 million boost to their crime prevention fund, bringing the total investment to $15 million.

That gives businesses the opportunity to apply for funding for fog cannons, bollards and security systems if they have been ram raided or burgled.

But as Louise Ternouth reports despite being targeted multiple times, some businesses say they haven't been able to access support.
