Don comments .....
A few months ago my team led by Sergeant Gwilliam initiated a quick response approach focusing on local retail crime in Onehunga.
We have seen an amazing result considering all the other demands that community policing require of our team.
Check points will increase in Auckland over the next few months for drivers to take a roadside evidential breath test.
Don has put information on "Trees and boundaries in relation to trimming" & "Can I cut back branches or roots encroaching from my neighbours property" "What can I do if a neighbour’s tree is dangerous or blocking the view or light?" "Who pays for the work if the court makes an order to remove or trim a tree? " " What if the neighbour doesn’t carry out the court order? "
Onehunga Community Patrol - what they do and how to join.
This is a very worthwhile & helpful community activity.... check it out if you feel you'd like to help.
