Ōmokoroa Community Policing Group Charitable Trust
Greetings everyone and Happy New Year from the team at Ōmokoroa Neighbourhood Support. We trust you are all enjoying the lovely weather and time with your families.
Unfortunately, over the Christmas break we have had a number of car break-ins so just a reminder to ensure there is nothing of value left in your vehicles.
Having a really good community network can help mitigate these situations and assist in getting essential information out to friends and neighbours quickly.
Please encourage all neighbours and friends to become part of this valuable community group. Currently we are looking for volunteer street contacts in Kaimai Views.
This area is growing rapidly and unfortunately is the location of some of the vehicle break-ins over this period. As a street contact you are responsible for collecting everyone’s contact details in your street and keeping them up to date as people move in or out. The Neighbourhood Support team will supply information and stickers for everyone’s letterbox.
If you feel you would be able to help, please contact the team on nsomokoroa@gmail.com.
Ōmokoroa Community Patrol By Peter Goad OCPGCT
Patrols have concentrated on areas which have recently suffered from thefts from parked cars and incidences of antisocial behaviour and irresponsible driving. The patrols aim to cover all the streets on our peninsula during daylight and after dark. We have had a good response to our appeal for volunteers but would welcome more with the ever-expanding area to be covered. If you would like be a part of this important community activity, please call or text me on 0279 443 145 and we will arrange vetting and training. A good proportion of our patrollers are couples or buddies who generally roster on together as well as individuals who welcome the opportunity to make new friends, so if you are fully vaccinated and interested, pick up the phone to find out more.
Finally, if you witness an incident, don’t hesitate - ring the Police on 111, or if it has already occurred dial 105 and you will be attended to in an efficient and friendly manner and our local police will be alerted. Wishing you a happy and healthy 2022.
Unfortunately, we continue to have a few incidents of graffiti. If you come across fresh tagging, please phone 07 548 1286 for us to arrange for it to be removed. If you witness any tagging taking place, ring 111.
