Community Patrol

Community Patrol teams play a key role in keeping our local communities safe. 

Hastings Community Patrol is a group of dedicated volunteers who patrol the Hastings Central area focusing on crime prevention. 

Community patrollers act as extra 'eyes and ears' for police, noting anything that could be suspicious and informing police of incidents requiring urgent attention.

Community Patrol Teams also work closely with the Hastings District Council and other organisations sharing a similar interest in community safety.

Community Patrollers are trained to know what to look out for. 

Applicants are vetted by the Police before becoming patrol members and complete a 3-month period of training where they work with experienced patrollers.

Volunteering with Hastings Community Patrol is a great way to make your own local community safer.

We operate on a rostered basis.
