BE AWARE signs released at National Training Seminar

11 July 2008

Community Patrols of New Zealand have developed in consultation with Police and Local Government New Zealand a BE AWARE sign which was released at the national training seminar in June.

The signs are intended to deter potential offenders by highlighting the fact that patrols may be in the area. The best location for the signs will be determined locally.

There are now over 100 community patrol groups throughout New Zealand making a significant contribution to reducing crime.

The new signs are being held by Willie Iosia (MC for the national training seminar) and newly
elected CPNZ Chairman Robert Fowler.
