Walkwise

The newest addition to the Wise group of services, Walkwise is a safety ambassador programme focused at reducing anti-social behaviour and crime in city centres. Walkwise ambassadors offer a helpful and friendly alternative to traditional security and enforcement, and aim to create a safer environment by working in conjunction with the community. Their role is not to enforce the law, but to provide a highly visible presence that deters crimes involving council property, such as graffiti and vandalism.

The Walkwise programme has already proven a success in Wellington and Manukau, where each initiative has been developed alongside local councils, community groups and the NZ Police to suit the specific requirements of the city.
