A nationwide Gardai operation targetting anti-social and violent incidents on transport networks includes increased action at Cork train stations, on inter-city services and on our county network.
Operation ‘Twin Tracks’ is being billed as "Days of Action for the prevention and detection of anti-social behaviour on DART, Luas and rail routes".
The first day is today -Gardai are engaging in a special operation that will see them patrol the DART, Luas and eight inter-city rail routes to prevent and detect anti-social behaviour today and will be again on July 27.
The focus is on pro-engagement and a high level of visibility on the rail networks and at train stations nationwide.
Gardai say the two primary elements of the operation are community engagement and rail safety, which will be achieved by "high visibility public engagement and delivery of crime prevention advice."
High visibility patrolling will operate between the hours of 3pm and 11pm on each day within the Dublin Region (Connolly & Heuston Stations) and nationwide on eight intercity routes.
Local Crime Prevention Officers and Community Policing Gardaà will deliver crime prevention advice at community engagement/crime prevention stands at a number of stations from 3pm to 8pm.
The key objectives are:
• To ensure public safety by addressing anti-social behaviour
• Protecting life and property
• To engage with the public and provide crime prevention advice
• To support Irish Rail and Transdev Ireland personnel in tackling these issues
• Preventing crime, bringing criminals to justice, through the detection and investigating of crime, and improving rail safety.
Divisional Crime Prevention Officers assisted by Community Policing Units/Uniform members at the following stations will set up crime prevention stands from the hours of 3pm – 8pm on both days at Cork stations including Kent, Charleville, Mallow, Banteer, Millstreet and Rathmore along with Cork City, Glounthane, Cobh and Midleton Stations
