Blessing for Fallen Hero
Afternoon neighours, I have just returned from the blessing for Mathew Hunt. It was very heart felt and emotional for Mathews family, friends, colleges and friends he hadn't meet yet. We were all there to support his loved ones and each other. To our police force, I am proud of you and thank you so much for protecting us and putting your lives at risk everyday for us all. We have such a great loving and caring community and I'm so proud to be apart of it. It's just so sad for everyone involved. kia Kaha with Aroha Massey
From everyone at Ezy Pezy

Six tips for improving security around your home
1) Improve outdoor lighting
Ensure that streets, driveways, and front yards are well-lit. Motion-sensor lights around homes deter trespassers by reducing hiding spots and illuminating their movements.
2) Trim your trees
Overgrown shrubs and trees provide cover for intruders. Keeping them well-trimmed around windows and doors improves visibility and reduces potential hiding spots.
3) Secure Entry Points
Ensure doors, windows, and gates are always closed when you are away from the house. Upgrade to more secure locks, deadbolts, or even smart locks for added protection.
4) Add a security camera
Place security cameras in the main entry points to your home. Doorbell cameras are also relatively cheap and a great way to keep track of who is visiting your home when you aren't there.
5) Start a Neighborhood Watch Program
You could reach out to members on Neighbourly to form a group of neighbors who can regularly keep an eye out for suspicious activity and report it. You could also check with Neighbourhood Support to see what is existing in your area.
6) Introduce yourself to your neighbours
The closer you are to your neighbors, the more likely they’ll notice when something unusual or suspicious is happening around your property
Feel free to share anything that you do around your area to deter crime.
