Rainy night patrols
Cold and rainy nights are a big opportunity to those offenders trying to take advantage of empty streets and rain noise to conceal their activities. Knowing that, Beach Haven & Birkdale Community Watch is trying to deploy as many patrols as possible during these nights. We hope our presence might dissuade those looking for a chance for wrongdoing.
Thanks to your generous donations, our patrollers are getting petrol vouchers to partially cover the gas expenses. Your donation keep our patrols running, please visit our Give a Little page: givealittle.co.nz......
We are always looking for more volunteers to join our initiative, please get in touch today to get more information. Send us an email to communitywatchbh@gmail.com.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
