Increase in garda patrols in a Tipp town

An Garda Síochána Tipperary Central Community Engagement is launching a high visibility operation in lead up to Christmas in Tipperary Town.

The operation will increase Garda patrols throughout Tipperary Town between Wednesday and Saturday in the following weeks, targeting anti-social behaviour, drug related crime, aggressive begging and loitering. Gardaí will be available to promptly deal with offenders in accordance with current legislation, practices and procedures.

This approach was developed in accordance with Tipperary Town community stakeholders. Increased attention will be paid to local businesses and post offices. Keeping members of the public safe in the busy festive period is our priority.

All mobile units working within the Tipperary Central Community Engagement area are aware of the operation and will provide assistance when required.
