We’re thrilled to announce the unveiling of our new patrol vehicle, made possible by a generous grant from Pub Charity Limited. A huge thank you to them and to the Christchurch venues that supported us in making this happen. We’re grateful for the backing of our community and so excited to see this vehicle in action!

We also would like to thank the Christchurch Central Ward Councillors & Community Board members that came along today to celebrate the new vehicle with us Jake McLellan, Dr. Sunita Gautam Community Board Member-Central Ward & John Miller. Another big thank you to Norm Williams from Hornby Community Patrol who came along to show his support!

We can’t wait to be back on the road this week patrolling & supporting our community.🚨

The City Park Community Patrol participated in an excellent training event today, focusing on traffic management around car accidents. Alongside other community patrols from the Canterbury District, we learned valuable skills. Special thanks to the Police, FENZ, and Ann Smith from CPNZ for organizing this event.

The day included an impressive demonstration of the procedures at the scene of a crash and how to respond effectively.

At all times of the year, and especially during winter, you need to be able to be seen by other people.

Here’s a reminder on when to use your headlights and the different settings. Even if you have automatic lights, always check you’re using the correct setting for the conditions – whether it's dark, raining, or foggy.

With the cold conditions tonight please remeber to slow down and drive to the conditions. New Zealand Police have some good general tips attached below ⬇️ 👍🏻❄️

You have less grip and traction in wet, snowy or icy conditions. Remember to slow down and drive to the conditions 🖐🏻🚗 ❄️

In winter, a following distance of 4-5 seconds is a good rule of thumb but even further is better. After all, anything that gives you more time to react is a good thing in adverse weather conditions! ⛄️ 🌧 ☔️

Stay safe out there.

For those of you celebrating Matariki this weekend, please be patient and courteous of others on the roads. Taking an extra few seconds or minutes to arrive safely at your destination will help ensure you can enjoy the celebrations with your friends & whānau.

Ngā mihi o Matariki, te tau hou Māori ✨
