NSW has called in the Australian Defence Force to enforce its hardcore lockdown on two million Sydneysiders after the state recorded its worst-ever Covid numbers.

NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller confirmed on Thursday he has made a formal request to the federal government for ADF assistance with the ongoing Covid-19 compliance operation.

The NSW Police Force is significantly expanding its enforcement activities in Sydney over the coming days and has requested 300 ADF personnel to boost its operational footprint.

Commissioner Fuller said the NSW Police Force and the ADF had forged a close relationship throughout the pandemic.

'The assistance of the ADF has been essential over the past 18 months – particularly during last year's border operation, the ongoing hotel quarantine operation and the assistance provided with logistics support in the Police Operations Centre,' Commissioner Fuller said.

'With an increase in enforcement activity over the coming week, I have now made a formal request to the Prime Minister for ADF personnel to assist with that operation.

'I would like to thank the Prime Minister for his ongoing support.'

Minister for Police and Emergency Services David Elliott welcomed the request for assistance.
