Hawke’s Bay Police will be working hard to ensure the community remains safe this long weekend, with an influx of visitors expected for its anniversary on Friday, the A & P Show, Six60 concert, and a gang-related celebration in Hastings.
“People can expect to see police on our roads and at many of the events that are on this weekend,” says Hawke’s Bay Area Commander, Inspector Lincoln Sycamore.
He said Road Policing teams will have fatigue stops and impairment checkpoints in and around Hawke’s Bay to ensure roads are safer over the weekend period.
“The first of these was over the lunchtime period today in Bridge Street, Wairoa where weary travellers were able to enjoy food, drink, and a rest.”
“Police encourage people to adhere to the law and wish everyone a happy and safe long weekend.”
