One year on the beat for our Community Beat Team
Its been a year since our Community Beat Team hit the ground running (literally), and have done over 3050 hours of foot patrols since starting in July last year to the end of April this year.
As a result, Christchurch has seen a huge reduction in robbery of 67%, unlawful entry by 29% and sexual assault by 16%.
Our communities can expect to see a continued presence as we continue to be highly visible, deter crime and prevent harm on our streets.

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

I'm a fruit. If you take away my first letter, I'm a crime. If you take away my first two letters, I'm an animal. If you take away my first and last letter, I'm a form of music. What am I?
