About 7pm Wednesday night dozens of workers congregated outside the Wellington Police Station protesting for a 24-hour police station and more officers to patrol the town each day, after a number of their homes had been broken into.

It's believed there had been at least six break-ins in just a few days, with reports electronics and clothes along with passports had been stolen from their homes.

However Member for Dubbo, Dugald Saunders said the call for a 24-hour police station was not the answer.

"These crimes occurred when the police station was open and fully manned and patrols were happening, so it doesn't actually make sense," he said.

"You could put 100 police in Wellington, and there would be the same possibility of crime as there would in Dubbo, as it would at Orange, as at any police station.

"You can't literally watch every house and every person in a town."

Mr Saunders said police believed the solar farm workers were victims of "opportunistic crime from minors", a number of which had since been arrested.

"There's been five or six cases where young people, juveniles, have broken into cars and or homes, when these people have been at work," he said.

"It's school holidays, they've put it down to kids being bored."

Dubbo councillor David Grant gave "full credit" to the workers for their stance, and said there needed to be a review of the resources distributed to Wellington.

"There was talk about a 24-hour police station, but a lot of these robberies are being done during the day while these solar farm workers are at work," he said.

"I suppose it's looking at the resources that are being put on during the day and trying to curb the break-ins."

He said it was important to address because it gave Wellington a bad name, and could deter people wanting to work in the region.

"It puts a sour taste in people's mouths when this sort of thing happens," he said.

"And you don't want word getting out that Wellington isn't a good place to go because you'll get broken into."

"These people are bringing money back into the town ... and we'd like to encourage more to come into town for these extra solar farms and the windfarm that's being developed just outside of Wellington as well."

The NSW MP said while people call for a 24-hour police station, he's advocating for a 24-hour police presence.

"My call has always been for as close to possible 24-hour policing at Wellington, as in police on the streets, not in the station," Mr Saunders said.

"We average 20 hours a day at Wellington ... detectives and the Target Action team are active in Wellington as well as normal patrols, and patrols that come down from Dubbo.

"So this certainly hasn't been any slackening off in police, it continues as it has in recent times to be very well resourced."

A NSW Police spokesperson said police would continue to work closely with the community and those who attended the protest, to address concerns about crime in Wellington.

"Police want to assure the community that all reports of crime are taken seriously."

NSW Police said the rate of property-related crime in Wellington remained stable, and resources in the district were flexible to respond to incidents across the area.

Currently a 24-hour response is provided to the area by Dubbo Police Station, and in the event of an emergency local police are recalled to duty.

The Proactive Crime team continue undertaking patrols in wellington, and general duties officers would continue regular high-visibility policing in areas considered to be hotspots.

But ultimately, Mr Saunders highlighted a 24-hour station would come down to the police commissioner.

"It has nothing to do with me as the local member, and certainly has nothing to do with council," he said.

"It is the police commissioner who decides where staff is best serving the public and what way, and it's deliberately done that way so it's not a political decision, it's purely an operational decision."
