by Reading all of the above, I feel its time the Public got in behind you all (The boys & girls in Blue)... is there still the rule that the Police can't Protest or make a stand against the commissioner etc...? let us public know what we can do to ensure you guys have the right tools for the job.

Well, cheers. Thanks to you.
Maybe it's time for the silent majority to get vocal.
(couldn't find a proper protesting smiley!).
We can have a rally against family violence...why not one against cop-bashing?
Especially in a small town like Oamaru.

You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will probably be stupid.
Stupidity is not a crime, so...you're free to go

I never thought I'd see the day someone saying "Bring back Helen"... lol
Well we have options of Petitions, Street protests, Fund raising to get some better MP's,
Seriously, I'd like to help get the ball rolling, the longer it stays in the public arena the better chance the pollies might sit up and take notice...
Things seem a little lost upstairs when Police are displined for chasing a guy who stole a car... Police getting attached, lack of safety equipment... yet in my job, I have to have two staff members to climb a ladder, you guys get sent out to serve & protect with a note book...? I could be carry better protection driving in my personal car.

It would be nice to know I have the tools I'm trained to use at my side instead of locked up in the station. Firearms won't be handed out as a matter of course for some time (tens of years). But a PR24 and a Taser would be a good start!
I'm probably not as regular visitor to this site as I should be however it seems everytime I visit I'm even happier I joined up over the ditch.
I just can't believe that you guys are so poorly equipped, as Peach wrote, we're tradesmen and if you can't carry the tools of your trade you simply can't do the job as well as you should.
Here in the Northern Territory every operational member MUST carry; cuffs, baton, firearm (glock)and OC spray. It is a dismissable offence to be on duty not carrying them. Every patrol car also has a taser and remington 870 pumpaction shottie. Most cars also carry the mk 9 OC spray (party pack) in addition to the mk 6 on the belt.
I was going to write 'what's it going to take, a death before the bosses see sense' but that has already happened over there and they still haven't.
NTPol is actively recruiting- better pay and conditions than you have and you get the tools to do the job.. cheers.

I like the idea of the 5% GD allowance and think its something that should be looked at in the pay round.

I'd honestly look at it instead of NZ, but have no idea about the immigration/citizenship issues.

It's on the website .. either be an Aussie citizen or have permanent residence and be able to get citizenship if you wanted to.

Especially as it's in the desert. Well, I don't know that for sure, but those pictures don't make it look like it's a coldplace.
And don't they flood often?

Quote from their FAQ: (i like the fact that they use a bit of humour)
Is it hot?
Yes. No point beating about the bush. Sometimes very hot and humid in
the 'Top End'! If you love snow sports, huddling around a fire and your
winter woollies, the Territory probably isn't the place for you.
The Top End has a beautiful dry season, when all the tourists come; a
pretty humid 'Mango Season' when the air-conditioners become very
popular; and a lovely Wet when everything turns green and the brilliant
electrical storms put on a performance you couldn't buy.
Central Australia is very hot in summer, although it is a much dryer
heat than in many other parts of Australia, and a cooler 'winter' when
the maximum temperature reaches up to 20 degrees and nights can be
freezing.
Isn't it expensive?
Some aspects of living in the Territory are slightly higher than
interstate, but not as much as people would have you believe. However,
you save in other areas. You won't have to buy suits or winter wardrobes
in the Top End. All in all, it works out to be pretty comparable with
interstate prices. There are no traffic jams.
