This year's campaign is to have a particular focus on violence against women and girls
There is set to be an increased police presence across Northern Ireland in the coming weeks following the launch of this year's Christmas safety campaign.
Chief Superintendent David Beck, tactical commander for the campaign, said: "We have seen an increase in shop-lifting this year to date so far, and we anticipate that that may continue over the Christmas period, so we'll increase our physical presence, and we're working with Retail NI and retailers across the country to increase their awareness of the risks around shop-lifting and other thefts and crimes.
"Of course we can be much more effective if we work together, so I would like people to think ahead this festive season and how they can help prevent becoming the victim of a crime. I would encourage people to go to our website - www.psni.police.uk/christmas - where they will find a range of useful crime prevention and safety advice.
"We want everyone to enjoy the busy lead-up to Christmas and will be operating additional late-night bus, coach and train services to help people get home safely and in comfort.
