Walkwise in our community
Council supports Walkwise officers to patrol Hutt City streets on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights across the city.
They:
- Look out for people’s safety when they go to their cars or catch public transport home
- Make people feel more comfortable when they are out at night
- Look out for criminal activity and report it to the police for action
- Provide a presence on the streets that prevents crime
- Report any damage to property to council
Council recently received positive feedback from one Hutt City resident who described the two Walkwise officers who helped her get home safely as "angels". Look out for our Walkwise teams next time you’re out on a Thursday, Friday and Saturday night and remember they're helping make our city a safer place to be.
