Kara Paterson Profile
Police Communicator - South Comms
Having come from working as a dispatcher for ski patrol on a North American ski field, Kara Paterson says one of the best things about her job as a Communicator is getting to talk to New Zealanders from all over the South Island. The other thing she loves is that things are always different in her job.
"The most rewarding thing about my role is getting it right when I’ve been put in a really high pressure situation, and at the end knowing I can say I handled that well and I can feel proud of what I have done," Kara says.
With her appetite for adrenalin it’s no wonder Kara’s favourite hobbies when she’s not working are skiing and dirt biking!
