Ten-One Community Edition 295 April 2007Welcome Welcome to the community edition of Ten-One for April 2007. In this issue, we outline Police Commissioner Howard Broad's response to the Commission of Inquiry into Police Conduct, publicly released on 3 April. Policing in the community takes many forms - from a range of recent relationship building and safety initiatives in Christchurch, to the national championship-winning performance of the New Zealand Police Pipe Band in Dunedin. Through time, police have contributed significantly to New Zealand's history. Eleven current and former officers recently received a special medal for their part in the aftermath of the 1979 Mt Erebus crash of Flight TE 901. Equally, a new police history book - Tact and Tenacity - was launched, celebrating 60 years of women in policing. We also look at various initiatives for helping keep people safe - from the police response to the Mt Ruapehu lahar, through to new safety and crime prevention tips for visitors to New Zealand.
