🚔💙💛 OUT AND ABOUT IN DUNEDIN

It’s been a little while since we’ve checked in, but our volunteers have still been out and about across Dunedin, keeping an eye on our communities and supporting Police where needed.

From the suburbs to the city, our patrols continue to provide an extra set of eyes and ears — and sometimes just having a visible presence can make a difference.

A big thank you to all of our volunteers who continue to give up their evenings to support our community and a huge welcome to our new recruits! 👏

We’ll see you out there! 🚔

🚔 PATROL IN ACTION

A recent patrol highlighted exactly why having trained Community Patrol volunteers out in our communities matters.

During a patrol in North Dunedin, our volunteers came across a crashed motorcycle and immediately contacted emergency services through our in-car radio.

The rider subsequently left the scene. Police who were enroute to our call then clocked him speeding before he was involved in yet another crash. Police were able to locate the rider a short time later.

Our volunteers don't replace Police — we provide an extra set of eyes and ears in the community, helping identify incidents and get the right response underway.

Observe. Report. Support. 🚔💙💛

🚔 SAFETY SATURDAY #8 – KNOW YOUR WAY OUT 🚪

If an emergency happened right now, would you know how to get out?

Take a moment to think about your home, workplace, or flat:

🚪 Know your nearest exit
🔦 Keep exits and pathways clear
🔑 Know where your keys are
👨‍👩‍👧 Make sure everyone knows the plan
You don't want to be figuring it out when there's an emergency.

A few minutes of preparation can make a big difference. 💙

❄️ 🚗 Drive to the conditions 🚗 ❄️

Be careful this morning team most roads have a combination of snow and water which has created some pretty gnarly ice rinks and we've just had a fair bit of hail come through to add to the equation. Some roads appear to be at a crawl.

If you don't need to drive then we'd recommend not to go out and if you do, Just slow down, take your time and drive to the conditions.

Stay safe out there! 💙💛
