Show Notes
An Auckland community patrol is seeking more funding amidst ongoing crime and demand.
Epsom Community Patrol is putting out the plea, along with asking more locals to volunteer for patrols seven days a week.
Patrol Leader Rod Gabb says central Epsom is particularly rife with crime, which can't be reduced without a collective effort.
He told Mike Hosking that a report from the Onehunga station said that crime in Epsom was down 10% month on month, and while he wouldn’t say it’s totally due to community patrols, he would say they’re a factor.
