Patrol
- 23 Aug 2010
- Hutt Chick
- wasn’t quite sure what to expect when I arrived at the police station. The others were waiting. I got into the waiting patrol car, and buckled up. I was going out on community patrol in Naenae. Community patrols work alongside police to build safer communities, providing an extra set of eyes and ears. We drove a random route but to some set areas, through schools, up alleyways behind businesses, making sure the streets were safe and providing a visual deterrent for tagging and other crime.

- ‘There is a community patrol in Eastbourne too, but a big gap between Eastbourne and Naenae. Yes, decided to stand as I am keen to make a difference and give something back to the community. Felt this was the best way.’
- ‘There are community patrols based in Taita and Naenae – they work with the Naenae police. The taita patrol is based in the taita community police base. Noted you are standing for council. good effort. I stood twice unsuccessfully during the 80′s. Peter.’
