Policing training exercise in Kapiti
As part of our regular training for our specialist teams, Police will be undertaking a training exercise in Kapiti on Friday 8 October.
The exercise will take place in Queen Elizabeth II Park between 9am and 3pm.
The Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) will be supporting the training exercise with an NH90 helicopter.
Our specialist teams undertake this type of tactical training regularly at various locations around New Zealand.
During the training exercise, there will be a visible police presence in the area of Queen Elizabeth II Park, including staff carrying firearms.
Members of the public in the area will also hear noise from the helicopter.
Police would like to reassure the public that there is no cause for alarm.
Police are grateful to the Park Ranger and RNZAF for their support and assistance.
We would also like to acknowledge that these types of training exercises could not happen without the support of our local communities, and we thank them for their assistance and cooperation.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
