Officers attached to the Brisbane Water Police District, supported by specialist police resources, have conducted a high-visibility operation in Terrigal targeting antisocial conduct and crime. The operation is aimed at improving community safety and addressing behaviour that has been causing concern in the popular Central Coast area.

Police activity included a visible presence in Terrigal, with officers focusing on public areas and behaviour that can affect residents, businesses and visitors. High-visibility operations are designed to deter offending and reassure the community that police are actively responding to local safety concerns.

Terrigal is a busy coastal destination, particularly around its beachfront, shopping areas, restaurants and nightlife precincts. Police operations in the area can therefore have an important role in maintaining public order and responding to antisocial behaviour.

The operation involved Brisbane Water Police District officers as well as specialist police resources, allowing police to increase their presence and respond to identified crime and community-safety issues.

Police regularly use targeted operations to address local concerns, particularly when particular locations experience increased reports of antisocial behaviour. These operations can include patrols, engagement with members of the public and enforcement action where offences are detected.

For the Terrigal community, the operation provides a visible reminder that police are monitoring local crime and public-order issues. Residents and visitors are encouraged to report suspicious or threatening behaviour to police and to contact emergency services when there is an immediate danger.
