Posting Crime on Social Media is NOT the same as reporting to Police
Why do so many people post on Social Media about Property Crimes that they have been a victim of & not make a Police Report?
Maybe it is because:
THE OFFENCE IS MINOR: It's never too minor-it could be part of a pattern in your area that the Police are investigating. It could be the beginning of some new criminal activity that can be nipped in the bud. It could also be part of a developing pattern that the Police can give extra attention by way of patrols in the area.
THE POLICE WILL SEE YOUR POST: Not necessarily, & unless you report the offence properly at the Police Station, you are just helping the offenders get away with this offending.
YOU DO NOT WANT TO WASTE POLICE TIME: There is no such thing as wasting Police time unless your complaint is bogus.
THE POST IS EXAGGERATED OR SECOND HAND INFORMATION: Sometimes the information posted is not an accurate representation of the facts & can unnecessarily concern your neighbours.
Every fortnight Papamoa Neighbourhood Support put out the OFFICIAL notification of reported Property Crime in Papamoa. This includes burglary, attempted burglary, vehicle break-ins & vehicle thefts.
If you are not a member of a NS Street Group, or are not receiving our e-Newsletter, then it's time to get in touch so that you can get all the Property Crime from the OFFICIAL Source.
Please remember that if an offence is being committed you must call the Police immediately to give our Police the best chance of apprehending the culprit--"IT'S NOT OK TO DO NOTHING"
Call 111 & let the call centre prioritise your call*****

Unelected commissioners recommend they stay in power
That's the Stuff headline. I have watched on as these commissioners proselytize about how they respect democracy-and now this. I acknowledge Simeon Brown has rejected their proposal but all I see is these commissioners trying to cling on to power and their sinecure at all costs. It is unbelievable-they should be ashamed. Ms Tolley (who does not live here), Mr Selwood who gets flown up from god knows where, and the other two-spare me the platitudes about how they are only here for the benefit of Tauranga. No you are not. You are paid to impose what you think we want. What is that? An oligarchy? Democracy is not perfect but far better than what you propose. To completely misquote Bertrand Russell-let the people think. By the way Mr Rutherford (my absent aka missing in action BoP MP) if you can deign to read this-show some mettle.
