Seeking new members
Hi everyone. We are currently seeking new members for Palmerston North Community Patrol. It is a voluntary role and all we ask is 4 hours of your time once a month. If you are aspiring towards a career with NZ Police we are a great stepping stone towards that goal. With all the happenings around the city the police can't be everywhere at the same time so we get out there to act as their 'extra eyes and ears' and to also help deter criminal behaviour. You need to be 18yrs or older, have at least a restricted license and pass Police vetting. We also have some mandatory training that needs to be completed but we help you out with that. If you would like more information please email palmerstonnorth@cpnz.org.nz or visit cpnz.org.nz or pncp.org.nz.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
