About us
Patrollers are the community’s watchful eyes—dedicated individuals committed to enhancing safety. We are a team of volunteers who believe that every helping hand can make a difference.
Building safer communities together
Manukau District Crime Watch Patrols Charitable Trust (MDCWP) was formed in 2007. MDCWP has a service agreement with Auckland Council and we are very grateful to them. We are a group of 6 patrols working together to create a safer community. The member patrols are Botany, Howick/Pakuranga, Mangere Bridge, Manurewa, Papatoetoe, Pohutukawa Coast. These patrols have been operating in their respective communities for over 20 years working towards keeping our community safe.
All members are vetted by the New Zealand Police and fully trained to become effective patrollers in their communities.
What’s Involved
Our trained and vetted patrollers conduct regular shifts, offering a non-confrontational presence. From providing advice on bag safety to assisting in special operations, they contribute significantly to keeping your community safe.
