The Northern Territory Police Force, in partnership with the Department of Housing, Larrakia Nation and the City of Darwin are continuing with Operation Home Safe following the 2025 Royal Darwin Show.
Over the first three days, the multi-agency operation has engaged with 222 individuals and achieved the following outcomes:
- 63 x high-visibility foot patrols conducted
- 174 x referrals to Return to Country Program
- 2 x referral to Territory Families
- 7 x council related issues identified
- 8 x referrals to the Department of Education
- 3 x cautions issued
- 15 x Litres of Liquor Tipped Out
- 4 x arrests
The operation is supporting community members in safely returning home and reconnecting with vital services and promoting wellbeing following the event.
Our combined message was to enjoy the show but make plans to return home. Sleeping rough, or in over-crowded conditions, is not safe for anyone.
NT Police Force thanks our partner agencies for their ongoing support and commitment to community safety.
