Forty-five people have been arrested, with a further 59 issued cautions or move-on notices during July’s City Safe Campaign. 

The campaign aimed to address and deter criminal and anti-social activity with a high-visibility police presence. It focused on policing licensed premises, local businesses, and high foot traffic areas in Civic and immediate surrounds.

Among the 45 people arrested and 59 people issued with cautions or move-on notices, offences included assault, theft, fighting in a public place, possessing a knife in a public place, possessing stolen property, defacing public property, drinking in a public place and breaching good behaviour orders.

A further six people were lodged into protective custody at the ACT Watch House or transported to the Sobering Up Shelter to ensure their safety due to their level of intoxication.
