What is Operation Roam?

Operation Roam was established in 2011 and promotes the exchange of information, regarding wanted people between police jurisdictions across Australia.

Crime Stoppers NSW chief executive officer Peter Price said the joint program helps raise the profiles of people wanted throughout Australia.

“During this operation, the community becomes our eyes and ears, making it very difficult for those on the wanted list to go about their everyday lives,” he said.

“Our success is measured by arrests made – and last year, 12 of the 19 people on the list were arrested. We want to make sure we continue working with police to not only make NSW, but Australia safe.

“While we need the publics help, we do urge people not to approach these offenders, but to call triple-0 or Crime Stoppers immediately.”
