Community Patrol Xmas Update
Hello everyone. We have been relatively quiet on here for quite a while, so we thought it is time for an update:
We have had some incredible successes this year, including winning a Safer City award (our second one since starting in 2011) in early November. Several members of our team went to the Presentation of our award (See photos)
We still go out every Friday and Saturday night, helping to deter crime, as well as patrolling during the week. We have helped out at events (Newtown Fair) as well.
If you would like to know more about us, join the police in the future, or see what we do on a patrol, please either reply below or pm us. We are offering ridealongs to those of you whom are interested.
We don't get paid, but the stories are worth it :)
Leave us message :)

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲
The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.
We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?
Keen to dig deeper? Mike White has the scoop.

Constable Street car wash rip off!
Hi, today I went to the Constable Street car wash that's beside the petrol station. After depositing $6 for three different rinse cycles I discovered that there was no water pressure for any of them. I had just foamed my car so I had to drive around and join the que again to use the left car wash....this time I discovered that $2 only rinses half of my small Suzuki Swift whereas $2 used to rinse the whole car nicely. Two or three weeks ago I encountered the same 'no water pressure' problem there. I imagine that people will be depositing $2 coins to no avail in a continuous stream. It appears that the owner doesn't care about providing a proper service to to their paying customers.
