Police have established a Major Operations Centre (MOC) to provide oversight of the Police response to the upcoming hฤซkoi from Northland to Wellington.

The MOC, based at Police National Headquarters in Wellington, is providing logistical, resource and communication support to all districts along the hฤซkoi route.
Major Operations Director Superintendent Kelly Ryan says Police have been engaged with hฤซkoi organisers for many weeks.
โ€œOur discussions with organisers to date have been positive and we expect the hฤซkoi to be conducted in a peaceful and lawful manner,โ€ she says.
The hฤซkoi is expected to leave Northland today (Monday 11 November) and travel to Wellington, arriving at Parliament between Monday 18 and Tuesday 19 November.

โ€œWeโ€™ve planned for large numbers to join the hฤซkoi, with disruption likely to some roads, including highways and main streets along the route,โ€ Superintendent Ryan says.
โ€œThe MOC will support our frontline, district-based staff with the management of people, vehicles and activities, while also maintaining central oversight.
โ€œWe will continue to co-ordinate with iwi leaders and our partners across government to ensure public safety and minimal disruption to people going about their daily routine.
โ€œWeโ€™re also well connected with NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi and local councils to ensure road users have up-to-date information and can plan accordingly.
โ€œThe MOC will remain in place while the hฤซkoi is in Wellington and as participants make their way back home safely.โ€

But often families overlook that they are leaving their family home unattended. Security lights activated by motion detection provide a fantastic deterrent to people who may be snooping around while you are away. When your driveway suddenly lights up like Eden Park, this is a great message for the uninvited to go elsewhere. Makes sure you have some form of security lighting in place before you head off to the beach. Replace failed security lights and ensure peace of mind while you are away. Don't be the only home in the street that has no security lights - you may become the target
