One year anniversary of Community Beat Teams
As a result of our Community Beat Teams, Wellington has seen a reduction in sexual assault by 21%, robbery by 22% and unlawful entry by 7%.
“While the results from the first year of beat teams are encouraging, it is also clear ongoing focus is needed to drive down theft and violent crime. This remains a priority for Police,” says Police Commissioner Richard Chambers.
Our communities can expect to see a continued presence as we continue to be highly visible, deter crime and prevent harm on our streets.
