Operation EMZ poses challenges
Long hours, cooperation from telcos and liaison with family members have all been important aspects of Operation EMZ - the ongoing Christchurch inquiry into the alleged homicide of 20-year-old deaf woman Emma Agnew.

| Welcome to the last community edition of Ten-One for 2007. |
In this issue, there's a story on the challenges associated with Operation EMZ - the alleged homicide of 20-year-old deaf woman Emma Agnew. Out and about in the community, there's an article on a scheme to reduce vandalism in five Porirua schools; a new approach to returning property to families who have experienced a sudden death; and a trolley derby in Opotiki which saw different parts of the community having a great time together. We outline two new tools in the policing line-up - a new boat for the Auckland Maritime Unit, and a new imaging system which, among other things, enables Police to compare suspects' photographs. We also provide an insight into the complexities of rearing quality Police dogs and the recent general duties Police Dog champions. Cheers for now and all the best for the festive season. If you're having a break, enjoy and keep safe.

More sensitive approach for sudden death kin Several years ago after a multiple fatal crash, Wanganui Sergeant Tracy Patterson was returning some small personal items in a brown paper envelope to a family, when it dawned on her how it lacked sensitivity. Derby marks Opotiki Blue Light comeback Following several years in recess, Opotiki Blue Light marked its return in style with the inaugural 'Crooked Road Trolley Derby' in late October. |
