We are one of five Community Patrol groups in Tauranga. These 5 groups are:-:

Our Patrol was formed in 2015 and is affiliated with the national body, CPNZ ( Community Patrols of New Zealand ). CPNZ was first formed in 2001 and today it supports over 5000 members spread over 150 affliiated community patrols throughout New Zealand.

Our members are all dedicated volunteers who come from all kinds of working backgrounds - from a host of different trades and industries. One characteristic we all have in common though, is our keen and genuine desire to be of service to the local community, with particular focus on working with the Police in the prevention of crime. We are now looking for more people to join us so if you have a genuine desire to make a difference in the community please be sure to contact us.

We patrol the areas of Sulphur Point, Matua, Bellevue, Brookfield, Judea, Otumoetai, Pillans Point, Bethlehem, Te Puna. and elsewhere when requested to by Police.

All of our Patrollers are trained. While we do not confront offenders and do not make arrests, we are able to direct Police to offenders that can result in an arrest being made.

We are always on the lookout for new volunteers so we can maintain a full roster of patrols. The Bethlehem Community Patrol is in very urgent need of 'young at heart' new members of any age and gender who can commit to at least one patrol per month to support of their community. Full training is given and experienced patrollers and Police provide ongoing guidance.
