Fly-in-fly-out specialist officers will target crime hotspots across Queensland in a major state government effort to cut crime rates and prevent repeat offending.

Operation Whiskey Legion, announced on March 27, will have specialist unit officers working with local police on continuous patrols, targeting vehicle theft, property crime, robbery, assault, and Domestic and Family Violence (DFV).
