Targeting alcohol misuse, anti-social behaviour and drink driving are just a few of the aims of the latest Territory wide Police Operation.

With concerning results once again upon the close of the weekends Operation Unite, NT Police continue to target problem drinkers and other offenders in what is believed to be the first Territory wide ‘mobile operation’.

Operation Shiloh commences tomorrow morning when 24 Darwin based Officers depart the Top End by both road and air to join forces with Police in the regional centres.

Superintendent Matt Hollamby will be leading the operation and travelling with what NT Police have termed, the ‘main force’.

“This is the first Territory wide mobile operation of this kind, establishing a ‘main force’ to travel by road, conducting traffic operations between the main centres. 

“The ‘main force’ will be supported by additional Police who will travel by air, all of whom will work to complement existing intelligence led Policing, specific to regional areas.

“We are not going to disclose all our targets in advance and the operational focus may vary slightly from town to town.

“This is a comprehensive Operation responding to the ‘intelligence’ supplied by the regional Police themselves.

“Each day of the Operation will commence with a local briefing with local Police throughout the Territory.” Superintendent Hollamby said.

Police will be releasing updates on the results throughout the course of the two week Operation.
