Victoria Police will re-introduce a dedicated Beat Team made up of seven officers assigned to walk designated areas of the city.
It will also include two dedicated officers assigned to support Bylaw enforcement personnel.
The $1.9 million in funding for the total of nine new officers will come from the Community Safety and Wellbeing Plan.
VicPD has not had a dedicated Beat Team since 2022 when it was discontinued due to underfunding.
The force is hoping to launch a second beat team in the future to provide seven day coverage across the city.
