Property crime can have a devastating impact. Here are some simple steps you can take to make your home and property as safe as possible:

Always lock your car, motorbike, bicycle or other vehicles. A car alarm, steering lock, or good quality chains are extra deterrents too. Ideally keep all vehicles in a garage or out of sight.
When out and about, keep your belongings secure and close to you. Separate your house and car keys, especially if you have an address on the key ring.
Don’t provide places for burglars to hide - keep bushes and trees trimmed.
Don’t answer the door for someone you don’t know or don’t want in your home. Ask for identification if they say they represent a company. If you’re outside for an extended time, e.g. in the garden, lock your front door.
Keep valuables out of sight - If it can be seen, it can be a target. Keep receipts, warranties, valuations and serial numbers in a safe place. Take photos or videos of jewellery, art and other precious items.
Secure your doors, windows, sheds and garages with good quality locks. Install security stays on windows, especially those on ground level.

Driving under the influence of Drugs and or Alcohol
This xmas holiday period, if you are going to be enjoying a few drinks, make sure you have a plan to get home or a sober driver to assist.
Alcohol and/or drugs are a factor in about a third of all fatal crashes.
This is a reminder that as a community we have a responsibility to ensure we drive safely at all times and do not take any unnecessary risks - getting behind the wheel after drinking is one of those risks not worth taking.
Drivers can expect to see more checkpoints around Turangi, so if you are stopped by Police, no matter what time of day or the reason, you can expect to be breath tested.
Our officers will be out to deter unsafe driving behaviour.
We are committed to ensuring that every road user arrives alive at their journey’s end and those who put others at risk will be found above the alcohol limit or affected by drugs will be, prosecuted and held accountable.
The limit for under 20years is zero alcohol
The limit for drivers over 20-years-old is 250 micrograms.
