Operation Ludlow II: keeping our communities safe

Operation Ludlow II is a 10-week police initiative running through the school holiday period in Alice Springs, and Katherine. The goal is simple: reduce crime and keep people safe.

What’s Happening

  • More police on the streets - on foot, bikes, ATVs, and vehicles.
  • Specialist units like Road Policing, Dog Operations, Mounted Unit, and Strike Force Viper are supporting local teams.
  • Extra officers from recent recruit squads are joining the effort.

Focus Areas

  • Preventing antisocial behaviour and alcohol-related crime.
  • Reducing youth offending and property crime.
  • Engaging with the community at events, businesses, and public spaces.

Working Together

Police are partnering with local patrols, housing safety officers, and community organisations to deliver a coordinated approach in each town.

Community Message

Expect to see more police around - officers are here to help everyone enjoy a safe and happy holiday season.
