1 The power of collaboration
Brian Negus

2 Home burglary is now top of mind for the community
The ‘wicked’ problem An unprecedented increase in car crime with the problem reaching into the home Home burglary is now top of mind for the community Victoria is experiencing unprecedented increases in the rate of home burglaries and car theft We need to better understand the causes and behaviours that have led to this Extensive media coverage, particularly when violence is involved, has put home invasion and car jacking in the forefront of people’s minds The formulation of our response needs to be informed and relevant in a new age of crime Page 2

3 ‘Wicked’ problems require: Concerted and sustained approach
Our approach ‘Wicked’ problems require: Concerted and sustained approach Commitment from government and the private sector Relevant and consistent campaign Community by-in Collaboration across all stakeholders Concerted and sustained approach Agencies and stakeholders need to work together to achieve change – working in isolation will not cut it Government has a critical role in supporting a sustained program – history shows that behavioural change requires a sustained effort e.g. the introduction of mandatory wearing of seat belts, and more recently, addressing family violence. Commitment from government and the private sector All tiers of government need to commit to working together Relevant and consistent campaign We need to be saying the same thing We know from our experience when we have a unified message we have greater impact Community approach needed We need to work with communities to identify actions to protect their homes and cars Encourage neighbours to be more vigilant and support each other in preventing crime Technology can help neighbours better communicate and work together Page 3

4 Collaboration is critical
Government at all levels Neighbourhood Watch Government agencies: Insurance industry VicRoads Smash Repair industry (VACC) TAC Telematics industry Department of Justice and Regulation Intelligent Transport System Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) Department of Youth Affairs Youth Affairs Council of Victoria Vehicle manufactures National Motor Vehicle Theft Reduction Council Auto Clubs (RACV) Academic institutes Police Community leaders Crime Stoppers Collaboration across all stakeholders Everyone from government through to local communities need to work together Page 4

5 Why are we involved? RACV is proudly Victorian and committed to improving community wellbeing RACV is a reputable advocate on issues that matter most to our 2.1 million members and the Victorian community Credible and trusted brand enables us to help educate and change behaviour Commitment to 2.1 million members and Victorian community We have a history spanning more than a century of being there for our members and supporting the Victorian Community We advocate on behalf of our members and Victorians on issues that matter to them most Credibility and trust with our brand enables us to help educate and change behaviour Page 5

6 RACV represents a large number of Victorians
Our strengths RACV represents a large number of Victorians Trusted relationships with stakeholders including Government, Victoria Police, VicRoads, TAC Impactful communication channels Proven successful advocacy RACV represents a large number of Victorians There is a high level of trust with the RACV making it a great voice to share a message Trusted relationships with stakeholders including Government, Victoria Police, VicRoads, TAC We currently are working with the Victoria Police Alliance to reduce the increase in home burglaries. The goal of this alliance aims to reduce residential burglary through a number of measures through collaboration with Government partners, having a better police response to burglary, addressing long-term hotspots and producing prevention and reassurance activities. Impactful membership channels Impactful membership channels include award winning Royal Auto, social media channels and media. We have the capability to get a message out to a wide range of people and prompt discussion. Proven successful advocacy – (elaborate on these examples) RACV developed the regional growing pains strategy for road and public transport projects in close consultation with Regional Cities Victoria RACV worked closely with Alzheimer's Vic to develop materials to assist drivers with dementia and their corers RACV worked with Leader Newspapers to draw attention to the State Government’s lowering of speed limits by eliminating 70 and 90 kph speed zones (Quill award in 2016) RACV worked with Bicycle Network and Yarra Trams to draw public attention to problems in Sydney Road and to get action from Council and State Government Page 6

7 What we know about car theft?
RACV paid out more than $12 million for vehicle theft claims in 2015 Average cost of a claim was $12,084 Vehicle thefts are most frequent between 6am and noon Page 7

8 What we know about home invasion?
Many cars are stolen as a result of home invasions Aggravated burglary soared 65% in last two year and up 40% in 2016 32% of offenders in aggravated burglaries enter through an unlocked door Page 8

9 Cars are becoming more connected New technology enables tracking
Digital fingerprints Traceable liquids Cars are becoming more connected – OEM connected vehicles enable vehicles to be tracked from last known location Tracking – new technology is enabling tracking devices with a battery life of five or more years hidden in the vehicle Digital Fingerprints - Cars generate a range of digital fingerprints that could potentially be used for systematic ‘filtering out’ of stolen vehicles. For instance, the MAC address of the hands-free system fitted to most cars is currently used for tracking vehicle movements for traffic flow measurements. Ditto toll tags can be used for this purpose. Next generation technologies such as ‘’cooperative ITS” will generate unique IDs that will be very difficult to obscure.  I’m not aware of any police initiatives to actively ‘survey the network’ to identify stolen vehicles though digital fingerprints. Traceable liquid - We are working on Australian’s first pilot for traceable liquid for use within the home. This is being done as a part of a broader strategic alliance with key partners Page 9

10 What can the community do?
Be vigilant – don’t be an easy target Share and act on information – greater communications within neighbourhoods Create local solutions for locally identified problems Prevention is the best measure of defence Use technology to communicate with neighbours Page 10

11 Collaborative approach Changing people’s behaviour
Summary Reducing the rate of home burglaries and car theft will only be achieved through broad strategic alliances with a sustained focus on: Collaborative approach Changing people’s behaviour Investing in technology solutions Engaging the community Page 11
