I am advised:
The new centralised Police Transport Command is currently staffed by 300
officers from local commuter crime units and will increase to a target
authorised strength of 610 police officers by December 2014. The Command's
structure is separate from other police activities and has clear accountability
for reducing crime on the transport system. Command locations have been
based on the identification of emerging crime trends and demographics, ensuring
that officers are allocated to priority areas, including the Hunter. The
Command will deploy resources on a risk and intelligence basis as required.
