Tamworth revives proactive crime squad to address ongoing staffing shortages and improve policing across regional NSW.
A new proactive crime squad is being revived in Tamworth, with seven positions filled and a sergeant to be promoted, aiming to combat crime across the Oxley Police District and beyond.
The restructured unit replaces the disbanded Western RES, addressing ongoing staffing shortages that have left the Oxley District at 74% and the New England District at 72% of authorized strength.
Officers from specialist units have been reassigned to general duties due to vacancies.
The police force is boosting recruitment through initiatives like Be A Cop In Your Hometown and funding for recruits at the Goulburn Police Academy.
While crime rates are generally declining, staffing challenges persist in regions including Port Macquarie, Coffs Harbour, and inner-city areas.
The new squad is expected to be fully operational in the coming months as part of broader efforts to improve response and retention.
