POLICING: Senior Sergeant Roy Appley says having five dedicated officers in Lyttelton means they are able to follow up on things that are continually happening. Senior Sergeant Appley is based at the Papanui Police Station but oversees police in other communities, including Lyttelton. Senior Sergeant Appley said staff use this information to respond to crimes as they happen in any area, including Lyttelton, and to prevent crimes before they occur. Uniformed police are available to respond to public safety incidents, alcohol-related incidents and incidents which require police dogs. If it is not urgent, residents should call 105,” said Senior Sergeant Appley.
