Thanks!
Hello Community!
Firstly, we want to say a big thank you to you all for continuously sending us messages to report suspicious activities in the area. This collective effort allows us to plan our patrol routes in a way to maximise our deterrent effectively. A FRIENDLY REMINDER: Ring 111 (ask for Police) for immediate attention and 105 to report an incident for the police to follow-up on later. We do not work for the NZ Police, we are just volunteers working in partnership focused on prevention.
We also want to give thanks to all the people that believe in what we are doing for our Neighbourhood Crime Prevention Project. We have been received an overwhelming amount of supporting comments on our social media accounts recently. It is 100% your trust what fuels our efforts to constantly look for ways to improve our practices therefore always providing a better service for all who live here.
Our coordination with our local Police Officers has made a remarkable movement during these past few weeks. We are proud to announce that the NZ Police now have real-time unlimited access to all our patrol logs and reports, and extract any of our information they deem useful for their mahi.
We want to thank you for your incredible donations as it is your generosity is what keep our cars running and our marriage partners….quiet! We want to give a special mention to members of our community who donate small regular amounts especially, it is humbling beyond measure. These donations gave many of our volunteers a sense of confirmation that you believe in us, you support our vision, you want us to keep going & see more of what we do. PLEASE KEEP DONATING as all donations, big or small, allow our volunteers to keep going without adding an extra financial burden to their lives at home during these increasingly hard times.
We need more volunteers, especially now that the weather is improving and is only getting better, providing longer time periods for offenders to harm and make our neighbourhoods unsafe.

Poll: Would you commute by public transport if it was free?
Using your car is convenient, except for finding parking.
Cycling lets you leave anytime, but you might arrive soaked.
So, neighbours, if public transport had the perk of being free, would it be your main way to commute?

Six tips for improving security around your home
1) Improve outdoor lighting
Ensure that streets, driveways, and front yards are well-lit. Motion-sensor lights around homes deter trespassers by reducing hiding spots and illuminating their movements.
2) Trim your trees
Overgrown shrubs and trees provide cover for intruders. Keeping them well-trimmed around windows and doors improves visibility and reduces potential hiding spots.
3) Secure Entry Points
Ensure doors, windows, and gates are always closed when you are away from the house. Upgrade to more secure locks, deadbolts, or even smart locks for added protection.
4) Add a security camera
Place security cameras in the main entry points to your home. Doorbell cameras are also relatively cheap and a great way to keep track of who is visiting your home when you aren't there.
5) Start a Neighborhood Watch Program
You could reach out to members on Neighbourly to form a group of neighbors who can regularly keep an eye out for suspicious activity and report it. You could also check with Neighbourhood Support to see what is existing in your area.
6) Introduce yourself to your neighbours
The closer you are to your neighbors, the more likely they’ll notice when something unusual or suspicious is happening around your property
Feel free to share anything that you do around your area to deter crime.
