Senior Constable Don Allan's November/December newsletter
Hi Neighbours,
Firstly a HUGE thanks to Don and all of Team Blue along with the volunteers helping to take care of our areas .
Piper needs a mention too, along with being very cute , he probably helps to keep Don sane :-)
Don comments on the high success rate for holding shoplifters accountable due to the way businesses are reporting thefts. CCTV in store is working.
He also mentioned the free APP called HOIST for asset management & tool tracker if your items are loaded into the APP.
There's tips to remember before you go away and what can help to keep your property safe while you are away. Empty boxes lying around with the make and model of your new 96" TV is a dead giveaway and best not to leave your spare keys to your motor vehicles inside in plain view. Lock your garages and sheds etc Please check your home contents insurance cover too.
Are you interested in joining or learning more about the Onehunga Community Patrol - info in the newsletter :-)
All the best wishes for a wonderful festive season and roll on 2025.
Best wishes
Colleen:-)

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?
