Safe District Project

“Making Taupo District a Safer Place to Live, Work and Play”

Taupo District residents say they want a safe district, a place they can live free from crime, violence, abuse and injury; and where they are safe at home and in the community.

For this to happen the whole community has a role to play in the promotion of injury prevention, crime prevention, and road safety. And this includes you!

Taupo District is an accredited “International Safe Community” via the World Health Organisations accreditation process. As a community we need to work together and think about how you can make your district a safer place to live, work and play.

Think prevention: crime, injury and Road safety.
