		<description>As a GDB in your first 2 years how are shifts made up ? ie; do you spend one day as an I-car, then maybe the next day as Q-Car and then a day doing traffic and so on ?



As for paperwork, are there any shifts where you are basically commited to staying at base all day doing paperwork or do you fit this in around you normal duties ?



Is SOCO a specialised branch or is this something that everyone gets to do (ie; rostered) ?



The plain clothes detectives that work in CIB, do they all start  ...</description>

		<description>Hi All,



My partner put me onto this website and I am quite impressed with it.



I am a frontline sergeant with 12 years service. I have done GDB, SOCO but mainly traffic. All of my service comprises being at the &quot;coal face&quot; working shift on frontline response in the Auckland City District.



From many of the posts I have browsed, they seem mainly to be by new potential or current recruits at College. 



If i can help with any questions, I will give it a try. I'm afraid i have  ...</description>

How many days off do you get in a row?

Given the situation recruiting is in at the moment, I have to admit that the thought has crossed my mind about going to CM.

Thinking of boarding up there, and coming back home on my days off.

Crazy thought or not?

I know lots of Auckland ambos do it  - but then they have a 4 on 4 off roster - unlike police.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi all
<br />
I am new here and the next step in the process for me is the PAT. I can do everything quite easily (even more than 20 push-ups  <img src="http://illiweb.com/fa/i/smiles/affraid.gif" alt="affraid" smilieid="40" /> ), but as for that run; just cannot do it in the allocated time... Have attended a PAT rehearsal. How many chances do you get or is the idea definitely to pass your PAT the first time around? Any tips?

Thanks guys.]]></description>

		<description>Power hoses and AK-47 assault rifles have succeeded where Sierra Leone's snake-charmers failed by removing 400 cobras and vipers that overran a police station. 

Authorities in the southern district of Bo called in police, army and fire fighters after the snakes scared away police officers and residents reporting crimes.

I'm 8 weeks young from police college.We just completed our Summative 2 exam yesterday so I'm posting this from home.Police college for me is a total new experience of learning and environment which took time to get used too but loving it.

The learning is good quality with alot of awesome information to cram in, in such little time but it's totally worth it. The ironing was a big surprise for me,the creasing of the PT gear shorts/tshirt even our uniform. Clean shaven every morning  ...</description>

		<description>Right, as you can see, I conceded.



I have found another skin which is more like the original.



It also has a few other neat functions.



The issue with the black on grey has been fixed (thanks cptbbb) A few more tweaks are still needed so don't panic!



Thank you for the input, after all this is your site as much as mine.

		<description>C'mon, who saw it on Campbell Live last night?

 

A group of maori, who are dissatisified and untrusting of police and disengaged from society, have set up their own 'police force'.

 

They hope to have a fleet of 20 or so vehicles patrolling the Waikato (and soon, more of them around the rest of the country knowing this kind of radicalism) which are marked, have flashing lights, and a burglar alarm for a siren. They intend to nab, amongst other things, truants and speeders.

2) You have restrained someone and it was not a sexual experience. 



3) You believe that 50% of people are a waste of good air.

		<description>Hi guys how is everyone?

Im near the end of my recruitment stage and just wondering has anyone or do many people get the letter in the mail after you have passed and done all of your test's, scope etc and still get declined? Or is there most likely a good indication along the way that you might be struggling to make the grade? Everything is going great so far as far as I know but just had a brain fart and thought 'what if...'

I'm just wondering what the recruitment situation is like in the Waikato, specifically Hamilton?  Is anyone here going through the process there?  I ask as it could be 2 more years waiting to get into Tauranga and one option I could consider would be Hamilton.
