Community Constable Don Allan's newsletter
Happy Christmas to all :-) Here's Don's last newsletter for the year, Please pass it on there's helpful advice & information for all areas.
Stay Safe
Hi All,
This is my last shift for the year before I head off on Annual Leave this afternoon. I intend to return to the office on the first week of February 2022.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for the support this year. With the direct support of residents, police have been able to resolve a number of serious criminal offences that occurred in our community, including a number of burglaries and vehicle related crime incidents. My goal for 2022 is to expand my community Watch and Neighbourhood support networks through our neighbourhoods so if you would like to help, email me directly early February and we will get something established.
On a whole we have had a pretty good year. There was spike in vehicle crime mid-year, however crime is actually tracking in the right direction, and each year we generally improve on the previous year’s crime numbers.
Please keep safe over the Christmas period. If you are planning to travel out of Auckland, please watch your speed on our open roads and ensure you take in plenty of rest stops during your journey and watch your following distances.
There is likely to be very little tolerance for ‘open road speeders’ so please be patient on your travels and stick to the posted speed limits.
I wish everyone the very best of health over the coming season.
Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
from Don & Piper
