How NZ Police See Us...
"Wouldn't
be without them. They provide a second tier of feelings of security and reassurance"
"They
are an extremely effective tool in the deterrence of criminal activity"
"With
their local knowledge they are a useful resource in prevention"
"We
have had a lot of success with CPNZ assisting in locating missing persons, cordoning
crash scenes and responding in severe weather"
"That second set of
eyes mobile in at risk areas is of great value"
