Last week only 15 officers were rostered on to deal with up to 60,000 people in the entertainment precinct - one officer for every 4000 people.
A Central District officer who did not want to be named said they had about the same number of police rostered on Saturday nights as they did weekday mornings.
"We're at the point where we're saying thank God 80 per cent of them are using an illegal drug rather than alcohol, even though in 10 years they'll be suffering manic depressive disorders," News.com.au quoted the officer, as saying.
"But we just couldn't deal with that many people affected by alcohol," he added.
He said police were not able to deliver a satisfactory "level of service" and were flat out responding to calls rather than undertaking preventative actions.
"It is embarrassing. We've sworn an oath to do certain things and we're not being given the resources to achieve that," the officer said.
