The commitment is off the back off Mr Grant's trip to Narromine when community members voiced their concern about the growing crime rate.

In an exclusive interview with The Narromine News and Trangie Advocate Mr Grant, who is also deputy premier and minister for police and justice, said an increased police presence was possible.

"It is possible, although it isn't always about numbers but the flexibility in which they are deployed and their connectivity to the community, but I am certainly looking at what the right number of police is for Narromine, how I can support the NSWPF being able to deploy them most effectively," he said.

Mr Grant said crime was concerning no matter when or how it happened.

"I'm always concerned about crime and particularly the victims of crime. I love the fact Narromine has such a low tolerance of crime and they pro-actively want to stamp out as much as possible. (This is) part of what makes Narromine such a great community," he said.

Mr Grant has a number of ideas about policing in Narromine, including CCTV.

"CCTV will not solve crime problems, it will not be a a golden panacea there is none, but CCTV has a vital role to play in the deterrence of crime but more importantly for us gathering evidence against those offenders in court," he said.

"It has proved helpful in many communities like Narromine and is an option that I support and I believe is worth the investment."

Mr Grant also suggested varied police rostering and tactics, better intelligence and community liaison.

"I think the engagement between police and community has certainly changed and there is a lot less of it then than there was when I was working in country towns over the last 20 years. We are more self-focused, less community engaged," he said.

Mr Grant recommends the community be connected and engaged and stay alert to deter criminal activity in the shire.

"Be as connected and engaged in your community as much as possible, always report crime to police, never say I can't be bothered nothing will happen, what's the point. There is a point if it's not reported - the true level of crime remains unknown, resources cannot be justified to an area that has a low reporting level of crime," he said.

Mr Grant also recommends helping the police.

"Stand up, help the police, give statements they need to hold offenders to account."

The local member has asked community members to tell him about the local crime issues.

"I never get offended when people raise these issues with me. Particuarly when things are starkly done wrong. I acknowledge the frustration that grows when crime occurs and particularly when people are repeatedly targeted and there is always more we all should do," he said.
