Nelson Night Watch volunteers recognised by Police

4 September 2008

Volunteers were also recognised when Nelson Police held a pay parade in August to present long-service and good-conduct medals to police staff.

Three members of Nelson’s Night Watch volunteers were presented with a District Commander’s Commendation - Laurie Christian, Eric Stewart and Betty Van Rooyen.

Mr Christian and Stewart were both involved in helping to set up the patrol 14 years ago and are still active patrollers.

Mrs Van Rooyen is the patrol coordinator and joined the patrol shortly after moving to New Zealand in 2002 from South Africa.
