The total Office of Crime Prevention budget for 2009-10 is $8,485,000 comprising:
(a) Policy and Evaluation: $986,000
(b) Business services: $1,335,405.
Note: Some of this budget will be reallocated to the Business Services Unit within the Strategy and Performance Directorate.
(c) Total Grants funding is $3,045,595. This includes salaries costs of $175,595 and a total community grants fund allocation of $2,870,000. Associated operational costs (postage, advertising etc) are captured within b) above.
(d) See f) below
(e) See f) below
(f) The total Strategic Projects budget (including d, e and h) is $963,000
(g) Graffiti strategy: $1,068,000. This figure does not include community graffiti grants, which are captured in c) above.
(h) See f) above
i) Community engagement team: $618,000. This figure does not include Local Government Partnership grants which are captured in c) above.
Note
: The Community Engagement Team will be relocated from the Office of Crime Prevention to the proposed Community Engagement Office, also within the Strategy and Performance Directorate. Funding above includes an additional Indigenous Community Engagement Officer, to be located in the Indigenous and Cultural Diversity Unit (also located in the Strategy and Performance Directorate).
(j) Neighbourhood Watch : $55,000 (internal) plus $140,000 revenue (external sponsorship). The Neighbourhood Watch program is now part of the Strategic Projects Team. (Figures indicated here are separate from those provided in f above.)
(k) The Designing Out Crime (DOC) program has a current allocation of $266,500. The DOC program has been replaced by a new Urban Crime and Disorder Initiative in delivery of election commitments. The OCP review supported the mainstreaming of broader Designing out Crime functions elsewhere within the machinery of Government, and this will be progressed alongside the new Urban Crime and Disorder Initiative. Unspent DOC allocations have been/ are being reallocated to the Urban Crime and Disorder Initiative or returned to the efficiency dividend. See l) below for further information.
(l) The State CCTV Implementation Plan will be delivered through the Urban Crime and Disorder Initiative, with a currently loaded operating budget of $147,500. This is subject to variation, with relevant DOC operating expenses yet to be fully migrated.
This figure does not include CCTV and Community Safety Grants, which are captured in c) above
(m) Nil response.
(2) The OCP budget is subject to continuing changes, reflecting adjustments to cost centre and internal order arrangements. Some of these anticipated variations have been described above and should be noted in subsequent budget analysis.
It is important to note that savings of between $1.1 million and $1.5 million are anticipated through the integration of OCP to WA Police. These savings are through staff reductions, rent and associated operational savings. As savings are realized, the OCP budget will be adjusted.
