Ōtaki Police celebrated Christmas with a well deserved day off on Kāpiti Island this week.
The 10 member force included Santa,(aka Senior Constable Terry Moore) who didn’t even take the beard off during his hot hike to the summit Tuteremoana.
Constable Ali Brooks and Sergeant Slade Sturmey got the guide award for braving the first swim of the season.
It was the first trip to Kāpiti for most of the group. ‘This has been an awesome day,’ said Ms Brooks ‘and we will definitely be back.’
