What is City Safe?

CitySafe is a collaborative project between Council, the New Zealand Police and the Whangarei Chamber of Commerce engaging with other government and non-government organisations to ensure a safer Central Business District (CBD). Some of the initiatives of CitySafe are:

  • a 24-hour Call Centre on Freephone 0800 258 258
  • the CCTV network

Call Centre

The 0800 258 258 City Safe toll free number enables people to report problems that reduce the sense of safety in Whangarei such as:

  • graffiti 
  • broken or damaged streetlights
  • damaged footpaths and tripping hazards
  • people behaving in an unsafe manner.

CCTV

The Whangarei CCTV network covers public spaces within the Whangarei Central Business District (CBD). It is monitored by volunteers at the Whangarei Police Station and is designed to support community safety mechanisms ensuring a safer inner city.

Other initiatives

Other initiatives of the CitySafe project include:

  • Cops on Bikes
  • reporting graffiti and truancy
  • further improving the technology in the monitored CCTV camera network
  • ensuring a wider network of resources in and around the CBD as eyes and ears for public safety
