A FORMER police officer, tired of seeing violent scenes at parties, wants all Victorians hosting a gathering for young people to get a council permit before it can go ahead.

Naomi Oakley was a police officer for 12 years before starting a business providing private security for parties called Party Safe.

"In my [police] job, many of the incidents I attended were domestics or out-of-control parties. It was quite scary, it was the unknown."

After running her business for more than three years, Ms Oakley believes there should be laws to make parties safer in Victoria.

"It's a different world now. We have to do what we can to protect our children."

Ms Oakley has prepared a submission calling on the state government to make it law that all parties for people aged 15-23 require a council permit.

She proposes that permits be granted only if a number of conditions are met, such as registering a party with the police 28 days in advance, nominating what time it would end, and having at least one adult for every 20 guests for groups aged up to 21.

Inspector Michael Grainger of Brimbank police said it wasn't a specific problem in the area.

"And I don't know if having to get a permit is the answer at the moment.

"We already have a party safe registration through the police and we get out to, or at least drive by, all the parties registered for that night."
