The NT Government is securing the future of the Territory Safety Division (TSD).
The TSD is a high-visibility policing unit that focuses on public order, anti-social behaviour and youth crime.
As part of this ongoing investment, the TSD will be funded to ensure there will be 52 police positions in the unit every year and an extra 26 police vehicles.
The TSD will be permanently based out of the Nightcliff Police Station.
TSD will be able to offer a surge response to other areas such as Katherine and Alice Springs, offering to support police on the ground who are managing high workloads.
The extra police to be included in the TSD will also allow for more joint agency operations targeting anti-social behaviour and issues around misuse of grog.
