Tasmania Police
Public Praised For Responsible Behaviour
Police in Launceston praised members of the public for their responsible consumption of alcohol at the recent Launceston Cup and also for their behaviour whilst attending and when leaving the Cup.
Previous years have seen a large number of persons arrested for alcohol related offences and disorderly behaviour, as well as numerous persons charged with exceeding .05. The numbers were reduced considerably this year.
Launceston Hotels were busy during the evening, but police were happy with the way the public conducted themselves after the event despite attending numerous calls regarding drunkenness.
