Crime Prevention Week Community BBQ Success

Published: Thursday 6 November 2025

On Saturday 18th October, Victoria Police members from the Proactive Programs Unit – Southern Metro Division 1 fired up the grill at Bunnings Port Melbourne for a community BBQ as part of Crime Prevention Week.

Thanks to the incredible community support (and some top-notch sausages!), the team raised over $3,000, which has been kindly donated to VPL.

A huge thank you to VPL Volunteer Senior Sergeant Kim Bramwell for coordinating the event, and to Bunnings Port Melbourne for fully funding the event - your generosity helped make the day such a success!
