CBD PATROLS

Since 2019, Territory Protective Services (TPS) has proudly provided a dedicated CBD Patrol Program, designed to address and mitigate anti-social behaviour in the heart of the city. Our goal is to foster a safe and welcoming environment for all residents, workers, and visitors within the CBD. Our patrol teams are highly trained in the art of verbal de-escalation and negotiation tactics, which we rely on exclusively to manage various disturbances and maintain public order.

Expertise in Handling Anti-Social Behaviour

The scope of our CBD patrols includes managing and resolving issues such as:

  • Public drinking
  • Nuisance humbug
  • Fighting and aggressive behavior
  • Obstruction of public spaces and facilities

We are committed to restoring peace and order without the need for physical intervention. Our officers are experts in identifying potential issues early, assessing the situation, and using verbal techniques to diffuse tensions before they escalate. By focusing on communication and negotiation, we are able to resolve conflicts peacefully and efficiently, ensuring that everyone can enjoy the CBD with minimal disruption.

COMPASSIONATE APPROACH TO VULNERABLE INDIVIDUALS

A significant part of our CBD patrol work involves interacting with vulnerable individuals, including rough sleepers and those struggling with addiction to alcohol or illicit substances. At TPS, we understand that these individuals often need support and understanding, not confrontation. Our team is trained to approach these situations with empathy, offering assistance and guidance where possible, while maintaining the safety and order of the public space.

Through our close work with local services and support networks, we can direct vulnerable persons to the appropriate resources, helping to minimize the impact of their presence on the CBD without compromising their dignity. We believe in finding humane solutions to complex social issues, ensuring that all interactions remain respectful and focused on positive outcomes.

Proactive Conflict Prevention and Resolution

One of the key elements of our patrol strategy is our proactive approach to conflict prevention. By consistently patrolling key areas of the CBD and building rapport with local communities, we are often able to prevent situations from escalating into larger issues. Our officers are trained to read body language and detect signs of potential conflict early, allowing them to intervene with tact and diplomacy.

In the event that tensions do rise, our team remains calm and composed, using negotiation techniques to engage with all parties involved. Our objective is always to de-escalate the situation, finding a peaceful resolution that respects both the individuals involved and the broader public.

Tailored Services for a Unique Urban Environment

The Northern Territory’s CBD presents a unique set of challenges compared to other urban areas in Australia. With a diverse population and distinctive local culture, it is essential that security services are adaptable and well-versed in the region’s specific needs. At TPS, we pride ourselves on our deep understanding of the local environment, allowing us to tailor our services accordingly.

We are not just another security presence; we are an integral part of the community, working closely with local authorities, businesses, and support services to create a cohesive approach to city safety. This collaboration ensures that our patrols are effective and aligned with the broader goals of maintaining a safe and vibrant CBD.
