Police targeting illegal party drugs will be out in force at the Listen Out music festival in Sydney.
Police said officers from the dog squad, mounted unit, transport command and central metro region would be patrolling the event, which runs from 2pm-10pm (AEST) on Saturday and is expected to draw a crowd of around 10,000 revellers.
The operation at Centennial Parklands is targeting alcohol-related crime, illegal drugs, and anti-social behaviour, police said in a statement.
Detective Superintendent Gavin Dengate said there would be "a large contingent of overt and covert police, including drug-detection dogs".
"Anyone who brings drugs with them can expect to be caught," he said.
