Founded in 2002, Community Patrols of New Zealand (CPNZ) is a nationwide organisation backed by funding from the New Zealand Police and Government. Our headquarters, situated at the Police National Headquarters in the National Prevention Centre, oversees the support and coordination of around 4,000 volunteers spread across 150 affiliated Community Patrols throughout New Zealand.
Our Vision
Empowering communities for a secure tomorrow, our vision is a New Zealand where everyone feels safe. In partnership with others, we prevent crime and reduce harm through the active presence of trained patrollers.
The primary objective of the society is to create a safer more caring community within Hastings so as to reduce the incidence and effects of crime.
This is achieved by:-
- Improving the quality of life for all residents of Hastings
- Assisting the Police to maintain Law and Order
- Patrolling designated areas at prescribed times
