After dark, the city changes and the safety risks increase. Young people may be vulnerable to crimes such as theft and assault.
City After Dark (CAD) tours are designed for secondary school students, tertiary students and community youth groups.
Led by a WA Police Officer and a Constable Care Foundation assistant, tours highlight how relatively safe areas during the day become riskier when darkness falls.
The three-hour evening educational walking tours of the Perth CBD, and adjacent entertainment precincts, provides young people with the knowledge, skills and confidence to stay safe when venturing out.
