Module 6: Short-Written Response Operation Clean Heart – Speech The influence of a police raid on a commercial heroin trade located in a region of Melbourne, Australia, is viewed by market participants. Although the statistics indicate that 'Operation Clean Heart' has accomplished its target of eliminating the noticeable dimensions of the illegal drug scene, they often mean that the drug industry has adjusted quickly to its new circumstances and that the operation 's effect has been largely superficial and provisional. I further assert that the project has had several unforeseen damaging consequences, some of which could be detrimental to public health. Clean Heart undeniably curbed the illegal drug scene of Footscray throughout its lifespan Service, significantly in relation of exposure of the scene. Nonetheless, the industry is obviously flexible and adjusts easily to new circumstances. The information I gathered from individuals buy or sell drugs at Footscray and the findings indicate that the desired factors of Clean Heart is to partly dislodge the issue to other parts of Footscray and surrounding metropolitan areas, and to push distributors to follow more discreet and advanced approaches. The analysis also showed that the operation disheartened safe injection practises and disposal system and increased the risk of Footscray drug scene brutality and forgery incidents. It is evident that illegal drug issues are rated very highly in the scope of crucial and demanding societal issues, and the urge to aggressively react to them is heavy. However, the very sophistication of the illegal drug difficulties refers to the inadequacy of simple responses. Evidence shows that if the general public purpose is to be protected, illegal drug issues need broad-based, multifaceted approaches instead of tightly oriented ones. I encourage that, in future, rather than police raids aimed specifically at moving the street drug situation from one area of the city to the next and subdue some of its visible manifestations, a

wide-ranging method to minimising damage must be applied to, with police being a crucial but it’s not the only element. I endorse the policy statements, namely a need to implement alternate reduction enforcement approaches to enhance the quality of life in CBDs; that drug consumers must be located in the most dangerous locations; that a functional ability to higher-level buyers does not turn into an disproportionate organizational emphasis on street traders and customers; that officers must minimize interaction at the injection site as a result of the health hazards to police and drug addicts; and that policemen must undergo more instruction on reducing harm and its goals.
