Farewell Acknowledgement
Commissioner Reece P. Kershaw APM
The Neighbourhood Watch Australasia Board, staff and community extend its sincere thanks and appreciation to Australian Federal Police (AFP) Commissioner Reece P. Kershaw APM for his outstanding service as our Patron since December 2021.
As Patron of Neighbourhood Watch Australasia, Commissioner Kershaw has been a strong advocate
for safer, more connected communities. Under his patronage, NHWA delivered significant initiatives, including eight Keeping Kids Safe Online community service announcements in partnership with the Australian Centre to Counter Child Exploitation (ACCCE), ongoing collaborations with the Joint Policing Cybercrime Coordination Centre (JPC3) on cybercrime prevention, and national programs such as National Secure Your Home Day. These initiatives have made a lasting impact on community safety and awareness across Australia and New Zealand.
We thank Commissioner Kershaw for his dedication, leadership and commitment to building a bridge to community and acknowledge the excellence he brought to his role as AFP Commissioner and Patron of NHWA. We wish him every success in the future and express our deepest gratitude for his contribution to our mission of building safer and stronger communities.
