"Especially those areas of concern to the community which were property crime, commercial break-and-enters and those issues of violence," he said.

"The police have taken a very proactive approach there... so you will see some crimes actually increase and that's including drug supplies, drug detection, domestic violence.

"We would say that that is a real positive for us because were getting more people confident to report domestic violence."

Supt Mckenna said they are very conscious of ensuring Wellington gets the best policing service it can.

"We're very much engaging with the community to let us know what are the problems so we can address them," he said.

Supt McKenna said the there has been a significant turn over of police officers in Wellington recently, which brings with it fresh eyes, enthusiasm and a real will to make a difference in the town.

"The goal is always to ensure we are providing the best we can to the communities we serve and ensure they feel safe, part of that is being highly visible in our policing response, but just because you don't see us don't think we are not there," he said.

"We are often doing things behind the scenes and or in plain clothes and we will continue to target those who want to cause harm to the community."
