We need you Wellington!!!
Hey everyone
You may have happened to notice the crime happening around our community. Do you want to try and do something about it? Perhaps you may want to join the police in the future.
Have you seen the vehicle going around the suburbs and wondered who we are?
Are you possibly interested in getting the volunteer version of 'Better work stories'?
We, at Wellington South Community Patrol, are always looking for new volunteers to join our team, and therefore are offering you the chance to to join us on a patrol to see what we do.
We are the 'extra eyes and ears' for the Police, late at night on the weekends and during the day through the week. We have our own vehicle; we patrol in teams of two or three (Safety comes first); the patrol is over 10 years old and one of the more successful community patrols in Wellington City, with having excellent results. We patrol everywhere south and east of the Basin Reserve. From Brooklyn West to Seatoun of the Miramar Peninsula.
If this is you, please do not hesitate to reply below or message us.
If you see anything suspicious or untoward happening, please call 111 and let them know. If you are uncomfortable with this and you see us around let us know and we will report it for you.
Thanks
Cath
Wellington South Community Patrol

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
