Are you concerned about the level of policing near you?
Twizel residents are questioning whether two police officers are enough to cover the growing town and say Tekapo is too far away to wait for police cover when they are on leave.

De Buyzer said members of the community have discussed their concerns after the town had no police cover last weekend.
