Prevention 101 - NZ Police
Back to School – from District Commander John W Tims
It’s the beginning of term two, which means that we will start another “Back to School” operation. We will be making an effort to reduce truancy in our District by stopping and speaking with anyone who looks to be under the age of 16 who is not in school. It is in everyone’s interest to ensure that all children are attending school as it is a legal requirement until you are 16 years of age. We will be following up with the schools in the first three weeks of each new school term to check up on the attendance of the targeted repeat truants.

FLIR - Safer Communities
NZ Police
The Eagle helicopter has a powerful new tool for prevention in the form of its upgraded forward-looking infra red (FLIR) capability. “A lot of the time they can be on top of a situation and having a look at what’s going on before even being dispatched by comms.”
Metro Ops Manager Inspector Gavin Macdonald says FLIR’s effectiveness was immediately apparent, with 18 incidents attended and nine targets located on its first Friday night, rising to 27 incidents and 15 targets located two Fridays later.
“This shows an increase on results from before the new FLIR,” he says. “The expectation is this will continue as ASU staff get more and more familiar with the new equipment.
“It ensures we can detect offenders more quickly and hold them to account, which is good for victims and staff alike.”

JNS at Kea Kids Open Day
A Junior Neighbourhood Support (JNS) event was held at the Kea Kids Open Day. It was great to talk about JNS with the kids and parents that attended. The whole day was full of face painting, learning about both crime and safety and also fire prevention in homes. Thank you Kea Kids Daycare for allowing us to hold a JNS event at the Open Day.

Key Notes from District Meeting
Are we doing our best to make our street safer?
At the April 2015 Neighbourhood Support Committee meeting, we learnt that burglaries and the theft of cars is still a major issue in Papatoetoe. The following seem to be the target of the burglars:
• Tidy streets and houses, suggesting the possibility of readily saleable goods on site
- Jewellery in particular is sought after. It’s light and easy to take and dispose of.
- Power-tools are also sought after and readily saleable.
• Pre year 2000 cars are also at risk. No alarms, no security systems, no risk of noise.
• The peak times for burglaries are Monday to Wednesday between 11am and 2pm and again from 12 midnight to 2am.
What can you do? We can minimize the risk...... Read on www.nsupport.co.nz
