 Welcome
to the May Volume 2 Community Edition of Police Ten-One Magazine
- designed for you,
our stakeholders, to learn more about what we do as an
organisation.
In this edition we talk with Acting Inspector Wally Haumaha who organised
the police escort for the recent Hikoi in protest of the foreshore
and seabed legislation. We also look at three high profile police
operations which acheived outstanding results, profile police's maritime
units, and we follow a police search team helping salvage a crashed
aircraft. Unruly Passenger Legislation is now in place for airline
passengers and we profile what that means for air travellers.

Praise
for pleasant and positive liason
It took 11 days,
involved 40,000 people and covered the length of the North Island.
And there were no arrests. In late April and early May, police accompanied
thousands of people down the country as they marched in a Hïkoi
to protest against proposed foreshore and seabed legislation.
Programme
increases possible results
Police Ten 7 has
been given a tentative nod for another year of production, making
it one of the more successful programmes on television.
“Three years is a long run for a tv programme,” says
Ten 7 producer Philly Iles. “And it looks like we will get
a fourth year. People are really enjoying the show.”
Since Ten 7’s inception, more than 100 offenders have been
arrested as a result of information provided from people watching
the programme. “We’ve had 67 episodes so that’s
more than one offender per show,” says Philly.
The latest series finished on 13 May with a one-hour special featuring
offenders and their victims, along with the police who dealt with
the inquiries. “It was gritty and edgy – we had an armed
offender and a rapist. But it showed who is committing the offences,
why, how the victims got involved in that situation and what people
can do to protect themselves.”
Philly is grateful to the staff she has dealt with over this past
series. “The police are fantastic,” she says. “They
know how to utilise the programme. I particularly want to thank the
front line staff who do the reality filming. I know it’s not
easy having a camera in your face, but it’s an important part
of the programme. All of our team are grateful to work on a show
that makes a difference to the community.”

Combination
of police and army skills useful
Skills learnt in policing are often transferable into other
areas of life, as Constable Paul Gregg discovered when he took
seven months LWOP to serve with the NZ Army in Bosnia.

Staff race against time and tide
By Senior Constable Karl
Wilson, Auckland Police Photography.
Recent upskilling in Disaster Victim Identification procedures proved
invaluable to members of the Auckland Search and Rescue Squad during the search
for a crashed aircraft off the Kaiaua Coast recently.
