You Never Know When A Disaster or Something Untoward may happen!
As did happen on 29th April. We were called in to help for the following 2 weeks to be the "Eyes and Ears" for the Police to help deter unwanted guests and opportunists.
The Ngongotaha Community Patrol have been patrolling Ngongotaha and surrounding areas since July 2004. Our effective membership is now insufficient to cover as many days and nights as we would wish.
We need new volunteers.
Requirements:
• Any age, male or female
• Can be couples / Physically impaired not a problem
• Clean Police record
• Approximately four hours of your time every month
• Must attend at least three trainings per year.
Patrollers are always rostered on in pairs; times are left to the discretion of patrollers. We are in cell phone contact with the Police and have a Police Radio and do NOT leave our vehicle unless specifically asked by Police.
Our main role is PREVENTION and we act solely as the “eyes and ears” for the Police.
Please help us to help you.
Do you think you could become a community patroller and help keep Ngongotaha a safe place to live?

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
