Thankyou. 😇

Police members on patrol across the Kings Birthday weekend within the Knox, Maroondah and Yarra Ranges Police service areas, would like to thank our residents and their visitors for taking extra care whilst driving on our roads throughout this long weekend.

Your efforts, together with a highly visible police presence resulted in no fatal or serious injury collisions being recorded across the four days of Victoria’s road safety Operation REGAL. This is highly unusual and a fabulous result, particularly given the weather has turned wintery!

Working together, makes the biggest difference in reducing our state’s road toll.

A message from your Local Area Commander – Inspector Sam Knight;

Croydon police have recently conducted Operation Whitehawk in the Croydon response zone, including Croydon Main Street, transport hubs and surrounds over the past two months.

The operation involved a high visible police presence in the area to detect, disrupt and deter offending and anti social behaviour.

The result after two months has seen a drop in antisocial behaviour and street offences. Croydon police conducted over 80 patrol shifts, speaking to over 200 people and made 14 arrests for various offences.

The operation has been a success and has seen our members enjoy fantastic engagement with our local community and stakeholders.
