Community Patrol Xmas Update
Hello everyone. We have been relatively quiet on here for quite a while, so we thought it is time for an update:
We have had some incredible successes this year, including winning a Safer City award (our second one since starting in 2011) in early November. Several members of our team went to the Presentation of our award (See photos)
We still go out every Friday and Saturday night, helping to deter crime, as well as patrolling during the week. We have helped out at events (Newtown Fair) as well.
If you would like to know more about us, join the police in the future, or see what we do on a patrol, please either reply below or pm us. We are offering ridealongs to those of you whom are interested.
We don't get paid, but the stories are worth it :)
Leave us message :)

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
