A new community policing team on the North Shore says local gang issues won’t be solved by arrests alone.
Gang issues, family violence and rangatahi (young people) were the key focus of a hui with community leaders in Beach Haven on Thursday, led by Northcote MP Shanan Halbert.
The meeting followed the shooting of a house on Mirage Place on June 4, which police are investigating alongside a spate of Auckland shootings linked to gang rivalry.
Waitematā East area prevention manager Inspector Todd Moore-Carter said everyone should be allowed to feel safe in their own home, especially children.
Waitematā Māori responsiveness manager and Pouwhirinaki (dependable person) Inspector Todd Bartlett added it was a community problem as well as a police problem.
“We’re not going to arrest our way out of this.”

The bathroom and changing room opened at Gould Reserve, near Takapuna Beach Reserve and playground, on Monday.
Features of the facility include a height-adjustable adult changing table and sink, a ceiling track hoist, a shower, handrails and a toilet with space on both sides for two carers to assist its user.
Devonport resident Kimberly Graham, whose 17-year-old son Finlay Butcher has athetoid cerebral palsy, previously said a lack of fully accessible bathrooms in New Zealand made it hard for her family to get out and enjoy activities together.
The new bathroom in Takapuna meant the family could catch a bus or ride their bikes to the beach and playground and spend more time there, without worrying about what they would do when Finlay needed to use the toilet, she said.
“The freedom a toilet like this gives is immense," she said.

Kia ora. I'm working on a story for Stuff about high-density housing and electric vehicles (EVs).
Do you own an EV, but have nowhere to charge it at home because you don't have a driveway or garage?
If so, I'd love to hear from you - please email me at caroline.williams@stuff.co.nz… View moreKia ora. I'm working on a story for Stuff about high-density housing and electric vehicles (EVs).

The new stretch of road allows southbound buses to skip the motorway near Greville Rd, where traffic usually comes to a crawl, while northbound buses no longer need to navigate the busy interchange at Constellation Drive and Upper Harbour Hwy.
“This means no time sitting at traffic lights, quicker journeys, and more consistent travel times,” Auckland Transport said.
