Community patrol
I have just spent a day with community patrol teams from around Canterbury and and South Island. We had informative sessions from the police and the day was capped off with a great awards dinner. There must be more people in this wonderful community of ours who could help out a few hours one day or evening a week/fortnight to be a presence in the community. We have people involved from young people wanting to get involved with the police as a career to retired folk wanting to give back to the community, and everything in between. If you have a clean police record and want to help support your community then contact your local area police.
