Welcome to the Bethlehem Community Patrol, Tauranga website
Find
us on Facebook 
We are one of 5 Community Patrol groups in Tauranga that are affliated to Community Patrols of New Zealand. These 5 groups are:
- Bethlehem Community Patrol
-
Mount Maunganui Community Patrol
- Papamoa Beach Community Patrol
- Tauranga
Community Patrol
- Tauranga South Community Patrol
We patrol the areas of Sulphur Point, Matua, Bellevue, Brookfield, Judea, Otumoetai, Pillans Point, Bethlehem, and Te Puna.
These patrols serve as an extra pair of eyes and ears for the police.
Our patrol was formed four years ago, and is one of
161-odd such patrols, consisting of around 6,000 volunteers throughout the country
working under the guidance of local police.
Our patrol proup is affliated
to Community Patrols of New Zealand
We have to be financially self-sufficient,
and are required to raise funds by appealing to the community and businesses to
run our vehicle. The patrollers are all volunteers.
Our patrols currently operate two nights per week, and some day time patrols and our role is to assist the Police with crime prevention by being “the eyes and ears” for both the Police and the Community.
We need to fund raise so we can stay operational and support our operation.

With
our small increase in volunteers we have achieved more patrol man hours for this
year compared to the same period in 2016.
We are always looking 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 in support of their community. Full training is given and experienced patrollers and Police provide ongoing guidance.
If you are interested in learning more about our voluntary group or in applying to join, please contact the BCP by email - info@bcp.org.nz
Training is provided and we operate in a safe environment
