Canterbury Eye On Communities - 2023

Be safe, feel safe Being safe and feeling safe starts with all of us. Members of current Neighbourhood Support Groups (NSG) understand this and take an active part in ensuring their street and neighbourhood is as safe as possible. If you are not a current member, please consider the benefits of being involved with an NSG. Safe strong communities are a product of community members taking an active part in thinking about their and others’ security. Find out more at: www.neighbourhoodsupport.co.nz and www.cpnz.org.nz and get involved.

The residents of Ōtautahi Christchurch and Te Pātaka-o-Rākaihautū Banks Peninsula can have a confidence that Police and partners such as Neighbourhood Support and Community Patrols are always in the community at the times when a real difference can be made to all our wellbeing. Having said this, of course you are the best judge of what is right in your neighbourhood. If something does not feel right, then it may well not be. So always call 111 in an emergency, or 105 if you want to update the Police on an activity you have seen. Don’t let suspicious behaviour go unchecked.
