Barwon LAC Acting Superintendent Scott Tanner said Barwon police are currently involved in high-visibility policing operations.
The strategies include a state-wide focus by police to curb alcohol-related crime.
“With Christmas celebrations in full swing residents are urged to be mindful of their alcohol consumption and look out for each other to ensure a good night is had by all,” Acting Superintendent Scott Tanner said.
“If you’re planning to drink – don’t take your vehicles out.”
Acting Superintendent Tanner said the focus on alcohol related crime is a serious issue and those who fail to comply with legislation enforced by licensees and police should expect to be prosecuted.
Alcohol-related focused strategies will continue throughout the Christmas and New Year period.
