Getting involved – Community Patrols of New Zealand
Are you looking for a way to support your local community?
Community Patrols of New Zealand (CPNZ)
Reducing crime and building safer communities
Community patrols are voluntary groups of people giving some of their time and taking responsibility within their own community to help the Police make the local community safer for everyone.
I have been a member of the South Dunedin Community Patrol for over nine years. It is a great way to support the local community providing observe & report assistance and other duties as required. We work closely with the NZ Police.
Generally this is only a commitment of a four-hour shift per month plus the compulsory training. For the South Dunedin Community Patrol we operate 9.00pm to 1.00am on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights.
Initial and ongoing training is given (compulsory) and there is a police vetting process to be completed.
If you are interested in getting involved and making a difference in your (our) community check out the information on the CPNZ website or ask me for the local South Dunedin contact details or visit the CPNZ website to join a patrol near you.
Sea Lion Close Encounter
Sea Lion Close Encounter – Smaills Beach, Dunedin, New Zealand
An unsuspecting swimmer at Smaills Beach in Dunedin, New Zealand, had a close encounter with an aggressive sea lion who chased him out of the water.
Speaking with the swimmer afterwards the first thing he noticed was that something touched his leg underwater. The sea lion moved effortlessly through the surf circling the swimmer and lunging at him from time to time. He made a careful but hasty retreat to the safety of the shore while not turning his back on the sea lion.
The swimmer did not hurry back to the water.
The speed and grace of the sea lion travelling through the surf was spectacular to watch.
