A recent investigation found three of the five most violent city areas are in Auckland, with Auckland Central West topping the list of areas with the highest number of assaults, sexual assaults and robberies in public places.
Youth and Communities Manager Inspector Mark Benefield said punters heading for a night out on the town are being sent a clear message.
"If you're coming into the city over this period and intend to frequent the city's many bars, restaurants and clubs, then drink responsibly and keep yourself and your mates safe.
"There will be zero tolerance on breaches of the alcohol ban.
"Retailers and licensees will also be reminded of their obligations with alcohol, especially around intoxication and minors."
