Police officers are not able to speak publicly due to the confines of their code of conduct and so rely on an independent organisation to bring safety concerns into the spotlight. We care, support and equip our members who face uncertain risks on the frontline every day because we believe that a healthy and resilient Police Service benefits the whole community. Police workplaces are governed by the same laws as any other Kiwi workplace, and staff enjoy the same health and safety protections as any other worker.

He has since repeatedly apologised -- including in person last week to the families of the victims -- but has not offered to resign.

South Korean police on Friday blamed negligence and planning failures for last year's Halloween crowd crush in Seoul that killed more than 150 people.

He has since repeatedly apologised -- including in person last week to the families of the victims -- but has not offered to resign.

No warrant is required by police searching for number plates captured by CCTV surveillance networks, even when the vehicles are snapped at the time of the ...

“Any new detection after the query is made will not appear,” said the spokeswoman. In the same period, police made 43,758 “historic” searches. The spokeswoman said police were able to gain “location information after the fact pursuant to a Search and Surveillance production order, or by consent, and a surveillance device warrant is not required”. The manual for using the vGRID system shows how the “historic” search could provide police with six months of location data whenever a number plate is captured on the thousands of cameras on the network. The other option open to police is to log a number plate in the privately-owned CCTV surveillance networks to which they have access, so they receive an alert whenever it is spotted in “real-time”. Inquiries by the Herald have confirmed that the police definition of a “historic” search - and so not needing a warrant - includes number plates “captured at, or very close to, the time of the query being made”.

Northland police are trying to track down the rightful owners of about 200 items recovered when they busted an alleged mail thief.

Many of the items were distinctive so would be easily identified by their owners. The items were taken from letterboxes all the way up the east coast from Whangārei to Mangōnui with many likely to have been intended as Christmas presents, making the alleged thefts the work of a real-life Christmas Grinch. Constable Dave Reynolds, of Mangōnui police, is in charge of returning the online purchases to their proper owners.
