CPNZ Patrolling Training Programme Objective: To give the new Patroller an understanding of our Patrolling Protocols and Procedures, to facilitate a safe and sound methodology of Patrolling. Slide Contents: Self-explanatory. Points to Remember: This is a mandatory component of their training. No one should be allowed to go on Patrol unless they have completed the three (3) Primary Modules first. This is a Safety and Security Initiative of CPNZ and given as a directive to all Patrols,as the PCBU under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015. This requirement is in addition to being Police Vetted. Resources needed: None Outcomes: The Patroller should have a good appreciation of the procedures (Basics) as it relates to patrolling safely and their perception of what we as Community Patrollers do. Patrollers should be left well informed leaving no doubt as to the roles and actions of patrollers i.e. WE ARE NOT THE POLICE! 1

The Role of Community Patrols Community Patrols consist of members of the public, that work with the Police and through effective patrolling techniques assist in crime prevention. As a Community Patroller you help facilitate the reduction of crime in the wider community .

Preventing Crime Crime prevention is: The anticipation, recognition and appraisal of a crime risk, and the initiation of action to reduce or remove it. Community Patrols, by use of pro-active patrolling, based on Police intelligence and direction, reduce the risk of crime occurring.

Patrolling Why do ‘we’ patrol? To make our community safer To assist the Police To reduce crime Planned, systematic, intelligence led patrols are more effective in deterring and reducing crime especially when these are undertaken overtly.

Intelligence What crimes are occurring? Where and when do they take place? Who has information on what is happening? Police Intelligence Reports can help you with your Patrolling. But - you also need good local knowledge.

How We Gauge Patrol Success? Good Planning and Police Intel Reports Observation and Awareness Patience and Discipline Local Knowledge Random Patrols do not reduce or deter crime

How to Be Effective On Patrol. Keep your Patrol speed down so your observer can see what is happening Keep left and let traffic pass you by. Be alert for suspicious activity in places burglars may target e.g.holiday homes, homes with bushes or high fences. Patrolling with a purpose helps Police.

Preparing to Patrol Prepare Patrol Plan: Your individual Patrol Plan is assembled using information given to you by Police (PLO, Intel, briefings or the District Command Centre (DCC). Patrol Plans should be flexible. You may be required to respond to other taskings as needed throughout the shift.

Police Line up Community Patrols are invited to attend Police line ups or briefings. This enables Police staff to meet Patrollers and understand the role of a Community Patrol. Community Patrols may receive tasking at line ups. All information received is CONFIDENTIAL!

Summary Random patrolling is ineffective, so plan to be effective. Build Intel received from Police into your plans and make sure you report on them. Think about ‘hotspots’ and how best to cover them.

Summary Be Observant, Alert and Curious Enjoy making a difference Most of all – BE SAFE
