Kapiti Community Patrol is officially launching its new patrol vehicle on Saturday.
"This new vehicle was purchased locally from a grant from the ANZ Staff foundation and contributions from the business community," patrol chairman Les Buckley said.
"The new reflective livery was funded in part by the Paraparaumu Raumati Community Board and some generous donations from local businesses.
"The patrol's role is assisting the police in preventing crime, and our members are all volunteers who are trained on the job in observation and reporting among other things.
"Our relationship with the police is very good thanks mainly to a can-do attitude on both sides."
