Introduction
Information technology is an integral part of the daily lives of Australians and New Zealanders. Whether people have a computer at home, use banking services, or simply receive electricity supplies, the community's reliance on technology is increasing daily. At the same time, government and entrepreneurs see opportunities for significant economic development of Australia and New Zealand through the increased use of information technology, and a technologyaware population with Internet connections to domestic and overseas markets.
Thus, critical infrastructures and the information economy must be protected, and not become vulnerable to crime. A safe and secure on-line environment will enhance trust and confidence and contribute to a stable and productive society.
Australasian policing has a significant role to play in achieving governments' information economy and electronic commerce objectives through strong and effective partnerships, as well as proactive and innovative policing. The Strategy provides an overarching statement of policing direction and is a backbone to more detailed workplans for each strategic focus area. It will also complement the findings and outcomes of the National Fraud Project sponsored by the Australasian Police Ministers' Council.
The Australasian Police Commissioners commend this Strategy to all stakeholders. From an external viewpoint it represents the carefully considered views of law enforcement and hopefully will guide and influence governments and partner agencies. Internally, it provides a sound foundation from which police practitioners will be able to carry out their role in partnership with other law enforcement agencies, government and private organisations, and the members of our communities. Certainly, ongoing commitment to the principles of the Strategy by governments, partner agencies, police and law enforcement will be critical to success. The Strategy supports our vision of:
A safer and more secure community
