WELLINGTON NORTH COMMUNITY PATROL SEEKS NEW MEMBERS
The Wellington North Community Patrol is affiliated to the Community Patrols of New Zealand Charitable Trust (CPNZ) www.cpnz.org.nz... which is a registered charity under the Charities Act 2005. It is an organisation in the area of Community and Public Security and Safety. We work together with our partners such as the Police, Local Territorial Authorities, and many non-government organisations.
The training requirements are set high in order to ensure we meet the needs of legislation, such as the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015, as well as ensuring we meet the high standards required to maintain the integrity and credibility of our commitments to the agencies we work with.
The patrol is out in the community on Friday evenings and some Saturdays, depending on the availability of its members. Members perform a patrol once a month. The patrol team is usually driving for up to 4 hours during each patrol. The area covered includes Ohariu, Churton Park, Glenside, Grenada Village, Woodridge, Paparangi, Johnsonville, Newlands, Broadmeadows and Ngauranga.
Currently the patrol is seeking new members to bolster the small group currently on board.

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
