Tawa's new community constable, Sarah Riddering, was "officially" welcomed to her new role at a morning tea for Tawa Police base volunteers on Monday morning, 18th July. Sarah has been with the Porirua Police for six years, with previous involvement in "general policing duties". As of this week she is based in Tawa. On behalf of the local community we welcome her on board.

The Tawa Police base operates out of the Tawa Community Centre, 10am to 4pm each week day. The phone number is 232 3160. Around 25 volunteers take turns manning the base. A number of them are shown at left with Constable Sarah Riddering and Sergeant Dean Silvester (behind Sarah).
