Police have charged 10 people on 17 offences as part of high visibility patrols and wanding operations in the Maryborough Central Business District (CBD).
Beginning on 31 July, police weekly saturate the CBD area, including shopping centres and parks, focused on making the community safe and feel safe.
The high visibility patrols are in addition to business-as-usual policing and responding to calls for service.
In the first four weeks, police have charged 10 people with 17 offences including wilful damage, drug driving, public nuisance, stealing, and possession of drugs and weapons.
Police have conducted 70 street checks, 323 roadside breath tests and 12 roadside drug tests.
As part of Operation Marshall, police have also executed 222 wandings, to detect and deter knife crime.
Under Jack's Law, police are authorised to use handheld metal detection wands in designated areas to scan for weapons and remove them from the community.
Police wanded a 56-year-old Pacific Haven man at shopping centre on Lennox Street on 31 July and located knuckledusters.
The man was issued with an adult caution for one count of unlawful possession of weapons.
Maryborough Patrol Group Inspector Paul Algie said local police are focused on making the community safe and feel safe.
"We know that taking proactive action makes a real difference in the Maryborough CBD," Inspector Algie said.
"Beyond wanding and street checks, police are also focused on engaging with the community and local businesses to address any community concerns.
"Police are also working closely with partner agencies to ensure individuals can receive additional support, when needed.
"These weekly high visibility patrols will be ongoing for the foreseeable future as we commit to detect, prevent and deter offending in the CBD."
