Police are continuing to focus on public safety at licensed premises, with 73 barring orders issued in Southern Tasmania this financial year.
Sergeant Peter Andricopoulos from the Southern District Licensing Unit said the focus is about creating a safe and enjoyable environment for everyone.
"We work closely with venues to ensure anyone whose behaviour poses a public safety risk, or breaches liquor licensing laws, is prevented from entering licensed premises," he said.
"So far this financial year we have issued 73 barring orders."
"These orders have been issued for a range of reasons, including intoxication and acting in a violent or disorderly manner."
"Barring orders have also been issued for the safety of staff and patrons when serious assaults, drug offences and property damage have occurred or threats have been made to staff."
"Police will continue to work with licensed venues to ensure compliance with liquor licensing legislation, as this not only protects patrons but also contributes to the overall safety and wellbeing of the community."
