A police base is coming to Whanganui to tell the community how to keep themselves and their neighbours safe in and around the home.
Senior Constable Keith Thomson has organised for the police bus to visit three central Whanganui spots and interact with the community.
"It's about getting out there and giving people the opportunity to have a chat with us," he said.
Thomson will be running the sessions alongside some of Whanganui's Neighbourhood Support Team, Maori wardens and community patrollers.
He said they will be covering a range of topics and educating the community on such issues as security lights. "It's about keeping safe; things like when you're in your back garden, lock your front door." He will also be covering topics such as alarms, what not to leave in your car, engraving tools, listing valuable items, and neighbourhood watch groups.
