Welcome to the last Community Edition of Ten-One for 2004. We have enjoyed bringing you the latest news from inside the New Zealand Police. We wish all of our readers a safe and happy Christmas holiday.

Ten-One will be back in February 2005 with more news about what police are doing in your community.

In this edition we profile family violence and look at ways police are working to protect the innocent victims of these horrendous crimes.

We visit the Chatham Islands on a "P" education tour and highlight a major drug bust here in New Zealand. Two police officers who were part of the body recovery team on Mt Erebus share their memories on the 25th anniversary of the Air New Zealand crash. And police gear up for the imminent lahar.
