The Police Minister is giving himself a pass mark one year into his new role, but acknowledges there's work to be done.

Last August, he said if the public hadn't started to see a change in public safety within a year of his appointment, he'd resign.

Mark Mitchell believes he's delivered, pointing to a three percent reduction in victimisations in the first nine months of the year - compared to the same period last year.

He says things are headed in the right direction, but more need to be done.

"We're working hard and achieving results - and although there's a lot more to do, we are headed in the right direction, no doubt."
