Auckland police believe the extra exposure in the city centre is making a difference.

New data shows a 22 percent drop in in serious assaults in the CBD in the first seven months of the year, compared to the same time last year.

Police Minister Mark Mitchell's putting it down to a collaborative approach between officers and agencies to get people the support they need.

Police Association spokesperson Murray Fenton says the feedback from visitors and locals is refreshing.

"It's really exciting, because our international visitors are coming up to us on the streets, our local people, our business people, our retailers - we're getting support from so many types of people."
