    4.4. NEW ZEALAND POLICE -SERGEANT TIM LOCKWOOD

    Sergeant Tim Lockwood gave an overview of the policing focuses and outcomes for the last six months. He advised that:

    1. the same operation as last year would be repeated over the five months of summer with Police patrolling the Mission Bay/St Heliers area, due to the success in reducing public place violence, anti-social behaviour and alcohol related incidents.
    2. over the past 2 years there has been a consistent 30% reduction in crime in the eastern policing area (which includes Glen Innes).
    3. issues specifically relating to the Eastern Bays Ward:
      • Tamaki Drive cycling issues - Police officers have been out on bicycles to educate cyclist of their responsibilities.
      • Mission Bay Jazz and Blues Festival - there has been good collaboration with the organisers, Council staff and the Police, and
      • there will be a large Police presence at the Festival.
      • Achilles Point - residents and Council staff report any issues which are acted on quickly by the Policing team rostered on. The Police approach must be consistent and transparent which means even law abiding citizens not causing problems will be moved on if they are parking at Achilles Point outside of the permitted hours.
      • Alcohol bans across the area have assisted the Police in controlling behaviour in the area.
    4. the changing of boundaries under the new Auckland council will have implications on policing region-wide. The main areas affected are likely to be Newmarket, Otahuhu and Royal Oak. Consideration will need to be given as to whether the policing districts should align with the ward boundaries. This matter is still being worked through.
    5.  a new process has been implemented with offenders breaking the liquor ban laws - they will be arrested, processed then released with a formal caution. If they offend again they are dealt with swiftly through the courts.
    6. the Police are looking forward to a "no cruising" streets bylaw being developed.

    Moved: Davis / Wallace

    That Sergeant Tim Lockwood be thanked for his update on policing activities in the Eastern Bays ward.
