We're keen to understand what our community knows about us so we've put together this quick survey.

All our volunteers are vetted by the Police and once vetted are fully trained. Our patrol is made up of local residents who wish to make their community safer. Our volunteers are provided with uniforms and all the equipment required to carry out a successful patrol. We observe and report suspicious activity to the Police and other issues to the relevant organisations.

Our volunteers always patrol in pairs, helping share experience keeping everyone safe regardless of the time of day. Our work is non-confrontational and we pride ourselves on keeping our volunteers safe while helping protect our community.

Help us make your community safer!

We patrol a very large part of our local community, including residential areas, town centres, parks, schools and carparks. To help us cover this area we need more volunteers.

Our volunteers include students, working professionals, and retired locals - the more volunteers we have, the more patrols we can operate. So if you have any spare time on a regular basis, please apply to volunteer with us.

We work with the NZ Police, Auckland Council, Asian Council on Reducing Crime (ACRC), Neighbourhood Support and other organisations in our quest to reduce crime and build safer communities.

We have in the past attended Police Open Days, Community Days, and Neighbours Days. We've worked with the NZ Police assisting them at a Chat with a Cop event at Botany Town Centre as well as supporting their community outreach events in Flat Bush.

We are a voluntary not for profit organisation who work together in your community to make your neighbourhoods safer places to live and work. We are extremely grateful for the support we receive from all our sponsors and we could not operate without them.

Botany Crime Watch Patrol was established in 2003, with our first patrol taking place on 4 April 2004. Since 2005 we have been very fortunate to have been able to operate from an office in Botany Town Centre thanks to the ongoing support from Botany Town Centre management. Our patrol is a founding member of the Manukau District Crime Watch Patrol Charitable Trust who receive funding from Auckland Council via a service agreement.

We are an affiliated member of Community Patrols of New Zealand (CPNZ) who have an MOU with the NZ Police.
