Operation Unite: A Blitz on Drunken Violence
On 13-14 May 2011, Australian and New Zealand police will stage an Australia and New Zealand Weekend of Action called Operation Unite: A Blitz on Drunken Violence.
Operation Unite demonstrates the united determination of police to challenge alcohol-related crime, violence and antisocial behaviour and the united resolve to achieve change.
Operation Unite is about cracking down on alcohol misuse and making people feel safer and more secure. Alcohol misuse is a major issue in both Australia and New Zealand and together we need to develop solutions.
