We certainly haven't forgotten anyone! As we continue celebrating International Year of the Volunteer, today we're shining the spotlight on our Eastern District patrols and patrollers.

To all of our volunteers across the Eastern District, thank you for your dedication, commitment, and the time you generously give to your communities. Your regular patrols, visible presence, and support for local Police help make neighbourhoods safer and provide reassurance to the communities you serve.

Your contribution makes a real difference, and we are incredibly grateful for everything you do. Thank you for representing CPNZ with pride and for your ongoing commitment to community safety.

Happy International Year of the Volunteer to all of our Eastern District volunteers!

⛽️ Cape Coast Community Patrol is aware of an increase in thefts of diesel from orchards and construction equipment throughout Eastern District Police area, but also within our Community Patrols area.

🦹‍♂️ If you see suspicious behaviour happening in our area and it is happening now, call 111 without delay - you might be providing information that leads to closure of something much bigger.

👉 The swift actions of the community, from the time of reporting onwards, are crucial in being able to hold any alleged offender to account.

👀 Also, if you have an address, business, site, orchard, or yard that you would like to have an extra police-connected voluntary eye on in: Pākowhai, Awatoto, Whakatū, Clive, Haumoana, Mangateretere, Tukituki Valley, Te Awanga or Clifton, please DM us or email [email protected]

👀 Can you see white van approaching from the right, in this first image, without its lights on?

😶‍🌫️ It's a 'pea soup' morning on the Cape Coast today, again.
💡It's a good idea, for your safety and the safety of others to ensure that your headlights are working, and that they aren't on the 'Auto' or 'Parking Light' settings, but are on the 'On' setting and dipped.
🤔 Have you seen any unlit, fog-coloured vehicles out there today?

🚨 Great news from Cape Coast Community Patrol

👀Last night, two of our volunteer patrollers spotted something that didn't look right - a damaged vehicle with out-of-town plates parked up in the area. They called it in, Police attended quickly, and the result was the arrest of a person who had been wanted since 2018 on a serious assault charge - eight years on the run, brought to an end by an observant community patrol.

🙏We're incredibly proud to be part of Community Patrols of New Zealand - CPNZ, and of our patrollers who made the right call last night. This is exactly why community patrolling matters - fresh eyes, local knowledge, and the confidence to pick up the phone.

👮‍♂️A big thank you also to Eastern District Police for attending promptly and for the very kind feedback that followed. It means a lot to our little team of volunteers..

If you'd like to get involved with Cape Coast Community Patrol, we'd love to hear from you. 👇

Happy Mothers' Day to all, and a special thanks to all of our volunteer mother patrollers!

Tomorrow, Cape Coast Community Patrol will be present at the 9.30am Clive ANZAC Ceremony, joining Community Patrols of New Zealand - CPNZ volunteers across the country in standing alongside our communities and other service providers in remembrance.

On ANZAC Day, we pause to honour the courage, commitment, and selfless service of our servicemen and women - past and present - and to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

We also acknowledge the families and loved ones who have shared in that sacrifice.

There is something that stirs in people who choose to serve — whether defending a nation or simply showing up for their neighbours week after week. The scale and stakes are worlds apart, but the quiet impulse to give something of yourself for others is a thread worth recognising today.

To our servicemen and women, and to those who gave everything: your sacrifice is in a category of its own.

As we come together in reflection and respect, we remember their service, their dedication, and the freedoms we continue to enjoy because of them.

Lest we forget. 🌿
