Ten-One Community Edition 290 October 2006Welcome Welcome to the Community Edition of Ten-One for October 2006. In this issue we reveal the challenges involved in recovering a body from the bottom of a 200m cliff near Mercer Bay, Piha. We show how a database of vehicle tyres is helping with police investigations, and how Christchurch Police are working with auto dismantlers to iron out some of the industry's problems. We find out more about the new electronic monitoring on bail (EM Bail) and explore how Palmerston North's Ethnic Strategy is successfully being put into practice. Rob Lee |
