A new centralised telephony service for non-emergency calls is now active in Tasman District, as part of a rollout throughout all Police districts.
This means calls to stations are now answered centrally by our staff at the Crime Reporting Line – as we aim to provide a more responsive service.… View moreA new centralised telephony service for non-emergency calls is now active in Tasman District, as part of a rollout throughout all Police districts.
This means calls to stations are now answered centrally by our staff at the Crime Reporting Line – as we aim to provide a more responsive service.
Typical calls might be around seeking advice, wanting to inform us of an historic crime, or reporting a civil or neighbourly dispute.
If a query cannot be resolved by the call taker, callers can be put through to a local staff member for their matter to be dealt with.
For emergencies, people should still call 111.
No matter how long you’ve been riding, the unexpected can always happen. Be an even better rider with Ride Forever coaching.

Christmas is supposed to be the jolliest time of year - full of whimsical family reunions, selfless gift-giving and Masterchef-worthy feasts.
But sometimes this just isn't captured on camera. We're after those amazingly awkward Christmas moments that have been captured on film.
Maybe it was the time you went to visit Santa and your little one didn't want a bar of it. Maybe it was a self-timed family shot that went horribly awry. Or a Christmas meal that was more a festive fail.
Whatever the not-so-merry moment, we want to see it! Share your pictures and a little bit about them with us in Stuff Nation. We look forward to seeing them! Here's the link to contribute.

All of the 2018 class have begun, or are about to begin their first advanced roles in dairy, and tutor/farmer Dave Horner says there are already employers lining up for the next group of graduates.
It’s an intensive 37-week residential programme, based near Taupo, which combines theory, practical training and on-farm experience based around the Massey University Diploma in Agriculture (Level 5). To find out more and to enrol, visit the Taratahi website.
We love poppies, and this Tibetan blue (Meconopsis betonicifolia) is especially eye-catching. They are available from a number of nurseries, including Blue Mountain in Tapanui.
