The operation specifically targets domestic violence offenders, using intelligence-based blitzes to arrest wanted persons, conduct bail compliance checks, and serve Apprehended Domestic Violence Orders (ADVOs) to improve victim safety.

The operation started Wednesday and concludes Sunday.

Det Chief Insp Brown said targeting domestic violence is a priority area for police.

“If anyone is experiencing domestic violence, we encourage them to reach out to police.

“We also work with other agencies to help protect and support anyone experiencing family or domestic violence.”
