Porirua residents raise concerns about police training
Locals in Porirua have raised concerns about police training in a residential area where officers will be carrying firearms.
In a letter seen by Stuff, residents were told this week by police that they would be conducting training at Hazard Grove, Esk Pl and Calliope Cres in the Porirua suburb of Cannons Creek. The training would take place between 8am to 4.30pm on February 17 and February 23.
Locals have complained about the lack of consultation.
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.
