Coast constable spreads word on safety

Constable Sam Webb

Constable Sam Webb of Whangaparāoa Police knows a bit about safety – he’s been a police officer for 16 years, and is currently out at Muriwai as part of the ‘reassurance and crime prevention patrol’ following the cyclone.

On March 20, he will give a talk at Whangaparāoa Library that is focused on ways to keep yourself and your belongings safe.

Constable Webb says he hopes to cover issues such as cars being broken into or stolen, keeping your house safe from burglaries, fraud and scams, and personal safety.

There will be time for people to ask questions.

He says usually his talks are for specific business or community groups, whereas this one is open to the general public.

“This means people can bring their own ideas and issues or discuss what they are seeing happen in their neighbourhood, so I can give them advice or direct them to somewhere to find out more, for non-Police matters.”

The talk at Whangaparāoa Library is on Monday, March 20, at 10.30am in the Pohutukawa Room. All are welcome – no need to pre-book.
