Police and Firefighting Services in Australia - Industry Market Research Report

Safety in numbers: Industry demand has risen, boosting government funding and revenue

The Police and Firefighting Services industry is vital to Australia's security and emergency response capabilities. Each state and territory is predominantly responsible for operating its own police and firefighting services. The role of firefighting organisations includes responding to fires, investigating fires, developing safety codes, responding to road accidents, managing hazardous materials and educating the community about fire safety. The Federal Government oversees the Australian Federal Police, which enforces national laws and provides community policing services in the Australian Capital Territory.

Industry organisations provide services that maintain public order and safety, and emergency fire and rescue services. The industry comprises police services (including federal agencies), and metropolitan and country fire brigades. The industry does not include ambulance services, corrective and detention centres, or private investigation and security services.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry's key players and their market shares.
