Ōmokoroa Community Policing Group Charitable Trust
Ōmokoroa is now up and running. We have over 1000 households and 75 Street contacts now registered. We are keen to keep building on this, so if there is anyone willing to become a street contact with a small group of interested neighbours please get in touch with us via email at nsomokoroa@gmail.com and we will help you through the process. If you would like to become a household member please just send an email to nsomokoroa@ gmail.com and we will add you in to receive our newsletter along with any alerts.
We are hoping to provide a newsletter twice each month and we would welcome your input for suggested content.
Graffiti Busters
There have been few incidents of graffiti recently. If you witness any tagging taking place, ring 111. Phone 07 548 1286 for us to arrange for any tagging to be removed.
Ōmokoroa Community Patrol
Patrols have especially targeted Harbour View which suffered a spate of car theft, break-ins and theft several weeks ago, as well as the toilet block on the Domain
Reserve which was vandalised.
The Patrol also recently worked with the police on a missing person incident, and a case of intimidation of a resident by a group of males from outside the area.
With the increasing number of new developments in Ōmokoroa and some retirements and ill health reducing the number of patrollers, the Community Patrol is keen to hear from anyone interested in becoming involved. If you can spare just one evening a month to help keep our peninsula a safe and pleasant place to live, and you are double-vaccinated, we would love to hear from you. Call or text Peter Goad (0279 443145) and we will arrange vetting and training. You can sign up and be rostered as a couple, with a buddy or join as an individual.
Finally, please remember that although the Patrol works closely with the Police we are only their eyes and ears, not their arms and legs, so if you need to report an incident, don’t hesitate - ring the Police on 105 if has already occurred or 111 if it is happening or has just happened. You will be attended to in an efficient and friendly manner and our local police will be alerted.
Wishing you a happy and safe Christmas and New Year.
