Poll: Do you feel safe in Wellington City?
An extra 50 to 60 police officers have been committed to patrolling “high risk” locations in Wellington, in a bid to reduce crime and disorder.
Operation Mahi Ngatahi, which began yesterday, will see up to 20 officers walking the central city streets every day from 10am to 8pm until the end of January.
They will target Te Aro Park, Cuba, Manners, Willis and Wakefield streets, Courtenay Pl, Lambton Quay, The Terrace and the railway station.
The officers will focus on shoplifting, car theft, anti-social behaviour, volume crime, violence, homelessness, alcohol consumption and sexual assault.

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓

69.2% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
