Feilding Community Patrol

About

Feilding Community Patrol Inc is a community backed initiative to reduce crime and build safer communities.

Story

Feilding Community Patrol Inc is affiliated with Community Patrols of New Zealand. A condition of affiliation to Community Patrols of New Zealand is that the patrol has the support and confidence of the Police and has a police liaison officer allocated to work with it.

Community patrollers act as 'eyes and ears' for police. Patrolling their community in pairs, patrollers note anything that could be suspicious and inform police immediately of incidents requiring urgent attention. Police notify the patrol of suspicious activities and trouble spots they would like the patrol to keep an eye on, as well as informing the patrol of events occurring in the area. Each member must sign a declaration of confidentiality and agree to abide by a code of conduct before working with the patrol.

Applicants are vetted by the Police before becoming patrol members and must complete a period of training.
