Safety in the city centre
If you need urgent police assistance please call 111. For any crime that has occurred, including theft please call 105.
Ensuring the city centre remains a vibrant, enjoyable and safe place for people is important for the success of the city. This is a top priority for us and others including the NZ Police and Auckland Council. Find out more about some of the programmes that are underway to prioritise safety via this video.
