ACRO will achieve its Mission if it:

  • researches, develops and implements in consultation with and for the community, community safety initiatives;

  • provides services for individuals and groups in the community (which enhance public safety);
  • is accepted within the community as a legitimate advocate on community safety issues.


The core values of the Organisation are the fundamental beliefs that govern decision-making processes. ACRO's values are that:

  • Every person has intrinsic worth and the right to be treated with dignity, equity, fairness and compassion.
  • Every person has the potential to become a responsible citizen.
  • Every person has the right to live in a safe and peaceful society and a responsibility implied by this right to respect the law.
  • Every person has a corresponding responsibility to reflect positively, influence and uphold social justice principles and the law.
  • Justice is best served through measures that resolve conflict, repair harm and restore peaceful relations in society.
