Auckland Central Community Patrol
About Us
The Auckland Central Community Patrol is a dedicated group of individuals committed to fostering a safer and more secure environment for everyone in our vibrant city. Our volunteers are the extra eyes and ears for the New Zealand Police, actively patrolling the streets, and contributing to the overall well-being of the community.
What We Do
High-Visibility Partnership Days
The Auckland Central Community Patrol takes a lead role in the ‘Together for Tāmaki Makaurau’ collaborative initiative, partnering with Auckland Council, NZ Police, government agencies, Heart of the City, Karangahape Business Association and social support services to enhance safety from Karangahape Road to the waterfront. Prioritizing safety in diverse areas is a top concern for Auckland Council and Mayor Wayne Brown, emphasizing the need for a secure environment for residents, businesses, and visitors.
As a proactive measure, the patrol actively participates in weekly high-visibility partnership days, held leading up to Christmas, where they collaborate with Auckland Council CityWatch, Compliance teams, Police, and Māori Wardens. These initiatives, addressing anti-social behavior, set conduct expectations, and contribute to a safer city centre.
These partnership days signify a reinforced collaboration, extending beyond the festive season into the new year. The Auckland Central Community Patrol plays a vital role in this ongoing effort, ensuring a proactive and visible presence in specified areas, actively contributing to a secure and vibrant city centre.

Our Supporters
Gratitude to our dedicated supporters whose unwavering commitment empowers us to create safer, more caring communities together.
Heart of the City, a partner of CPNZ, collaborates with others to ensure the city centre is a vibrant, enjoyable and safe place for people.
Underground Boxing shares CPNZ’s commitment to a safer Auckland Central. Underground Boxing have created a family-oriented community at their Durham Lane gym that enhances physical health, fitness, and mental well-being of their gym members, while also actively supporting community patrols to do the same.
The ‘Together for Tāmaki Makaurau’ initiative, launched in November 2023, enhances safety in Auckland’s city centre through a partnership between CPNZ and Auckland Council’s CityWatch teams. This collaboration increases CityWatch patrols from 6 to 18 wardens and establishes three safety coordination hubs, ensuring a visible safety presence from Karangahape Road to the waterfront. A City Centre Safety Coordinator supports the recruitment and training of CPNZ volunteers, bolstering community patrol efforts. Enhanced CCTV coverage and community outreach further contribute to creating a safer, more welcoming city centre.
