Up to a dozen people have been arrested in police raids on two caravan parks in Brisbane's north in an operation targeting ongoing criminal behaviour at the locations.

The Aspley caravan parks are managed by the same owners and are well known to police.

In August, three officers were assaulted during a call out to the site.

The ABC was told the two caravan parks had accounted for 40 per cent of all call-outs this year in the Carseldine police division.

Police arrived at Aspley Acres and Alpha caravan parks, home to more than 300 residents, around 8:00am (AEST) and executed eight search warrants.

About a dozen people were arrested for drugs and weapon possession, breaching bail and unlawful residence.

A police chopper helped officers secure the perimeters of the caravan parks.

Speaking at Aspley Acres, Acting Detective Inspector David Jackman said most of the residents supported the police action.

"Policing of this establishment takes up quite a considerable amount of resources," he said.

"What we've done today is quite proportionate I believe in response to the activities of police here over the past few years.

"Those that are unhappy are those probably arrested.

"Things have been improving down here, it's just that every now and then we need to do these operations to curb anti-social behaviour and criminal behaviour.

"There are a number of people who are squatting here in vacant units so it is a case as well that we're doorknocking just to check on bona fides of people who are living here."

'It's been going on for a long time'

Adam James lives alongside Aspley Acres and described the police raid as "brilliant".

"It needed this level of attention," he said.

"There's people getting beaten up on a regular basis, innocent people getting hurt and it's got to stop - if this is what's needed, so be it.

"It's been going on for such a long time.

"I live just over there, I was the closest house to here and we get robbed every week."
