Hibiscus Coast Community Patrol

Are you a Community-Minded Person? If so, this could be for you....

The Hibiscus Coast Community Patrol is looking for Volunteer Patrollers. The HBC patrol area of responsibility ranges from Puhoi to Dairy Flat and Red Beach to Waitoki. However, normal directed patrols are nominally in the local Orewa/ Millwater/Silverdale area.

Patrols are normally conducted on Friday and Saturday nights or when requested by NZ Police. Patrollers are normally rostered on for one 4-hour patrol per month which can always be changed to suit personal requirements. The Patrol is made up of approximately 20 patrollers, with 50 percent of our patrollers being female, so gender is no barrier. The minimum age for a patroller is 18 years and all patrollers must be in possession of a full driving licence and undergo a police check. Patrollers are provided with training in observation, communications and first aid techniques and always patrol in pairs. All equipment is provided and patrols are conducted in a well-marked and well-maintained vehicle. In addition to the night patrols, day patrols are currently conducted on Fridays. However, as summer approaches, we would like to expand the day patrols to other days. We are community-minded people who care about their community and the safety of others. If this sounds like you and you want to be involved in the community or you would like more information, please contact www.hbccommunitypatrol.org.nz or call Frank on 09 426 3122.
