Community constable leaves frontline behind

Constable Rebecca McEnaney says she is quickly finding her feet as Orewa’s new Community Constable – a position she took up on March 2.

With family in the fire service, Rebecca says joining the forces in order to help people was always her plan and the Police soon became her focus.

She joined the Police in 2014 and since then has worked in Auckland city, Orewa and Warkworth in a frontline role.

The 34-year-old says she is looking forward to the change of pace involved in moving from active frontline policing to a more sedate community-based position.

Rebecca is based at Orewa Police Station and welcomes anyone in the community who wants to discuss any issues with her there.

She also plans to be out and about on the beat.

Her role includes being the coordinator for Orewa’s community patrollers and liaising with local businesses.
