Ironbark Development
Services manages the delivery of night patrol services
to Acacia Larrakia and Belyuen communities on behalf
of the Australian Government's Attorney-General's
Department.
Night patrols aim
to assist people at risk of either causing or becoming
the victims of harm in order to break the cycle
of violence and crime in communities.
The night patrol
approach is based on non-coercive intervention strategies
to prevent and control anti-social and destructive
behaviours through the promotion of culturally appropriate
processes around conflict resolution and contemporary
law enforcement measures.
The activities
undertaken by a night patrol service may include
relocating a person to a ‘safe’ environment (eg
relative’s home, recognised safe house, woman’s
refuge, hospital or other medical facility), diffusing
violent situations, diverting intoxicated people
away from contact with the criminal justice system
and providing advice, information or referral (eg
to a counselling service).
