Description
The East Auckland Pacific Wardens, now known as "Maungakiekie-Tamaki Pacific Warden Trust" (MTPWT), was formed in September 2012 by Richard Takapautolo and Taniela Kaveilata who both lived and worked in Tamaki. It started with 20 Pacific people from the Tongans, Samoans, Fijians, Cook Islands, Solomon Islands, Niueans and Tokelauean.
The objectives of Maungakiekie-Tamaki Pacific Warden Trust are:
- to contribute to the prevention of crime and victimisation in the local community of Tamaki and wider Auckland Metropolitan area
- to patrol and be the "eyes" and the "ears" of the Police and the Council in working collaboratively to:
- identify hot spots
- maintain peace and harmony within the community
- help with reduction of youth offending especially Pacific
- prevent vandalism
- address safety of people
- identify and prevent crime before it takes place.
We are patrolling every Saturday night on our own and sometimes alongside the Police. We are looking at extending to more nights and days. We mainly cover our Tamaki Area and Central East. We help patrol at local community events like Xmas parades, Matariki, sports clubs, church events and Police & Council events like "Pasifika Festival".
Please let us know if you would like more information on our patrolling. Also, we need more males and females to register with us to join our group. Contact during office hours from 9am - 3pm Debbie 02102781589 or Richard 0211920950 or email or like us on Facebook.
