What does CoSafe do?

CoSafe operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Officers undertake specialised training to manage a wide range of issues in the community such as:

Anti-social behaviour
  • Making a lot of noise in the street
  • Acting in an intimidating manner
  • Acting in an unacceptable way.
If you feel unsafe, contact CoSafe immediately. CoSafe will seek compliance from the offending person/group. If necessary, CoSafe will seek police involvement.

Suspicious behaviour

If it doesn’t look or feel right, it probably isn’t.

If you report a car:
  • Explain why the vehicle and driver are acting suspiciously e.g. driving slowly and pulling randomly into driveways
  • Describe the car - make, model, colour, registration and any distinguishing features e.g. car stickers, broken light.
If you report a person: 
 
•    Explain why the person is acting suspiciously e.g. shining a torch through windows
•    Describe the person - gender, colour/length/type of hair, complexion, build, facial hair, tattoos/scars, age and type of clothing.

Noise complaints

CoSafe attend to noise complaints on behalf of the City. Noise levels will be observed from the complainant’s verge. When a second call is received for the same address, we will notify police. Police will also be notified if noise is a result of a party and there is a concern it will escalate.

Vandalism
  • Graffiti
  • Damage to property
  • Damage to trees or playground equipment.
Other functions

CoSafe also handle out-of-hour Rangers functions, removal of abandoned vehicles and investigation of illegal fires.
