Police say officers have undertaken hundreds of reassurance visits at transport hubs across the Auckland region in the past week.
Officers from across Auckland have increased patrols in and around major public transport locations following the fatal Onehunga bus attack on October 23.
Auckland City Police acting district commander Sunny Patel says officers have made close to 400 patrols at transport hubs.
“It’s important the public knows that police are continuing to take action,” he says.
“We know the community is understandably shaken following this horrific incident and we are committed to ensuring people feel safe in our city.
“People should be free to use public transport without fear.
“The focus for police and partner agencies is on ensuring these hubs are places where the public and commuters can be safe and feel safe.”
Acting superintendent Patel says police continue to encourage the public to report incidents that may be unfolding so appropriate action can be taken.
“If an incident is happening now, I urge people to report it to 111 as soon as they can.”
Information can also be provided to police by making an online report at 105.police.govt.nz using Update Report or by calling 105.
