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.
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.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
