A high-visibility police operation has concluded following a couple of public assemblies in the Sydney CBD today.
Today (Sunday 26 November 2023), as part of the ongoing Operation Shelter, large numbers of police were deployed across the city to manage crowds and ensure the safety of those participating in two rallies throughout the day.
General Duties officers were assisted by specialist police from the Police Transport Command, Traffic and Highway Patrol Command, Public Order and Riot Squad, State Crime, Operations Support Group, Mounted Unit, Dog Unit and PolAir.
Two separate public assemblies were held in the CBD throughout the day, with a combined estimate of 7,000 people attending.
There were no incidents and no arrests.
Operation Commander, Assistant Commissioner Brett Greentree, said each group was able to congregate without any problems thanks to the extensive police operation that was implemented.
“Our ongoing relationship with the event organisers ensured the large number of people in attendance protested safely.”
Operation Shelter continues to maintain high visibility and respond to any incidents across New South Wales.
