In a move that’s set to be a game-changer for those who enjoy a tipple during the Melbourne Cup, Victoria Police is adopting a new approach to public drunkenness for this year’s event.
Victoria Police is gearing up for this year’s Melbourne Cup Carnival with a new approach to public drunkenness, emphasising support and assistance over enforcement.
“Victoria Police will have a visible presence at this year’s Melbourne Cup Carnival,” said the spokesperson. The police presence will include general duties officers, Highway Patrol members, the Mounted Branch, and the Public Order Response Team.According to the spokesperson, police officers will encourage intoxicated individuals to seek support and assistance from their family or friends.
However, if a drunk person commits a criminal offence, the police will respond promptly to address the situation. To bolster their efforts, general duties police will receive support from multiple specialist units, such as the Mounted Branch, Highway Patrol, Water Police, and the Public Order Response Team.
