5924 - CRIME IN BERESFIELD AND TARRO

Hornery, Sonia to the Minister for Police and Emergency Services

Considering the recent Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research statistics show that Beresfield and Tarro have rates of crime that are 3 times higher than the State average in a number of categories including Fraud, Break and Enter Non Dwelling, Motor Vehicle Theft and Use/Possess Amphetamines, what is being done to address these ongoing issues in the Beresfield and Tarro area?
Answer -

I am advised:

During 2021, the NSW Police Force has increased community and local business engagement to address concerns in the Beresfield and Tarro areas. Beresfield Police Station has also been utilised to coordinate local operational activities and responses with specialist personnel and commands, such as the Traffic and Highway Patrol Command, Public Transport Command, and NSW Police Force Youth Liaison Officers.

In April 2021, the NSW Police Force commenced Operation GECKO, an ongoing initiative which provides proactive and high visibility policing in conjunction with covert methodologies to respond to identified trends in criminal activity, antisocial behaviour, property crime and drug activity in Beresfield, Woodberry, Tarro and surrounds.
