## Resource

For over 30 years, community patrols in Kaiapoi and Rangiora have been a lifeline for North Canterbury’s safety, working side-by-side with police to spot and report suspicious activity across a vast region. These dedicated volunteers, rigorously vetted and trained, partner with councils and local businesses to strengthen community security — and they’re urgently seeking new members to keep the lights on, day and night.
