## Resource

Christchurch police are sounding the alarm on a troubling surge in public violence tied to family disputes, now erupting in supermarkets, playgrounds, and other everyday spots — especially as summer looms. Officers are ramping up patrols during school holidays and near popular destinations, battling a potential “Super El Niño” that could strain resources with wildfires and droughts. Meanwhile, commercial burglaries persist despite patrols, fueled by poor surveillance and forensic gaps — though meth use is dropping nationally, police warn even small amounts can trigger chaos and ruin lives.
