Community Patrol Volunteers
The Bethlehem Community Patrol patrols the areas of Sulphur Point, Matua, Bellevue, Brookfield, Judea, Otumoetai, Pillans Point, Bethlehem, and Te Puna. WE currently operate two person patrols in our patrol vehicle on Friday and Saturday nights and also one day patrol a week.
We are seeking mature persons of excellent character with a sound and common sense approach and who have a desire to keep our local communities safer, by being extra ‘eyes and ears’ for the Police. Full training is given and experienced patrollers and Police provide on-going guidance.
We are observers only and take no direct part in Police incidents.
You may well have seen our patrol vehicle in the area.
If you are interested in learning more about us, or can help out with four hours each month, or with some funding please contact us. Our contact details are listed under “Organisations” on Neighbourly, our website www.bcp.org.nz... or on Facebook
