Police are increasing their presence in the capital as part of Operation Mahi Ngatahi.
Their goal is to make the CBD a safer place.
Detective Senior Sergeant Warwick McKee says officers will patrol high-risk areas, focusing on preventing and responding to incidents of violence, shoplifting, vehicle theft, alcohol, and burglary.
He says it also provides an opportunity to help reinforce Don't Guess the Yes, an initiative designed to change attitudes about sexual violence and consent.
