We need to have a police presence in our village. Since it has been made public that the police are based at Ocean Grove, we here in Drysdale have become sitting ducks. The vandalism and break-ins are out of control and now we can't even put washing on the line at night, without the risk of being assaulted. This is ridiculous, Drysdale has always been a good place to live, a great place to bring up a family and now, just because we no longer have police here to protect us, the criminals are coming to our village and doing as they please. Even the Christmas decorations in peoples gardens were being stolen or destroyed this Christmas. These things have never happened before. Please, whoever is reading this, we need our Police Station to be open as it used to be. It is not a safe place to live here in Drysdale anymore.

As more and more people are moving to this area, I fail to understand how one could think that the area is safe enough without police presence.

Clearly the cuts are hurting us all here on the Bellarine. Please help to keep it a great place to be and not the next Ghetto of Geelong

People need to get behing this petition to raise concerns in the community. We have had cars broken into twice. Caught the first one but just missed the second.

I think its rediculas that we don't have a full time police station in drysdale, with the population growing as much as drysdale and clifton springs. we have had too many robberies and even murders and assaults, and it's only going to get worse with so many drug addicts now.

a police station is a necessity not a luxury and as the community grows it is needed even more.

in light of recent break ins and assaults us locals are starting to feel a bit vulnerable in our once beautiful quiet town. I do believe a police presence would improve this
