Police are stepping up their presence on the North Shore with the launch of a dedicated suburban Beat Team, hitting the streets from today.

The North Shore Beat Team will focus on Albany, Glenfield and Takapuna commercial centres.

By walking the beat and riding the Northern Busway routes, they’ll boost visibility, strengthen community ties, deter crime, and make public spaces safer.

Waitematā East Area Commander, Inspector Michael Rickards, says the Beat Team will be a visible and trusted presence, regularly patrolling busy shopping and transport hubs, engaging with local businesses and residents.

“When Police are visible and approachable, it not only helps prevent crime but builds confidence,” he says. “You’ll see us out there - and that’s the point.”

The new team will work closely with other community policing units to maximize coverage across the Shore.

New constables posted to the North Shore will spend time with the experienced Beat Team members, enhancing its presence and ensuring strong community engagement from day one.
