Medial will include an investigations unit, an organised crime unit and prevention groups. Police said each unit will be headed by experienced staff.
“While investigating criminal activity and holding people to account for their actions is essential, just as important is encouraging our community to report matters to us so we can work together to help keep people safe and feeling safe.”
Local police staff will meet with community leaders and partners in the coming days and weeks to offer reassurance and ask for their continued support.
