Police scrapped millions of dollars from crime prevention to meet the Government's savings expectations ahead of this years' budget. The cuts were found in funding to burglary prevention programmes. Documents show Treasury had warned funding cuts could lead to higher cost and more crime in the longer term. But Police chief operating officer Andrea Conlan says difficult decisions had to be made in order to be fiscally responsible. She told Mike Hosking prevention is a key focus across the organisation, so it's not about reducing their effort or focus on prevention. Conlan says the specific initiatives were identified as areas in which the money could be moved and reinvested. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Government's target of recruiting 500 new police officers has been held up yet again. A briefing sent to the Government suggests the two-year goal's been set back, and Police expect it'll be by August next year. That's nine months after the original target and two months behind the Police Commissioner's revised deadline. They're now looking at launching a recruitment drive into Australia – the place we're losing officers to. Police Association President Chris Cahill told Mike Hosking it's a la la land idea, as poached officers would get a 30% drop in wages, higher house prices, higher cost of living, and lower superannuation. He says NZ Police need to start looking at the things that would make a real difference for officers in New Zealand, such as the remuneration structure.

New Zealand Police is tackling the challenge of officers going to Australia head on. Yesterday Checkpoint heard from a recruitment officer for Northern Territory Police who had no qualms about luring kiwi cops over, and said they would be coming here on a roadshow this month to talk about the higher salaries and housing allowances on offer. First year constables in the Northern Territory earn a salary of $111,000 compared to $83,000 here - the salary quoted on the new cops website in New Zealand. After five years in the force an officer would get $121,000 in Northern Territory compared to $91,000 here.

The timeframe for the 500 officer increase in policing numbers is shrinking. Police News magazine reports there are actually fewer cops in the country than when the target was set 14 months ago. Associate Police Minister Casey Costello says they've lost 150 through attrition, but they're expecting to put 650 recruits through in the first half of the year. She told Mike Hosking it won't just be new recruits who help bolster the numbers. Costello says more than 100 former officers have applied to rejoin the force.

Dennis and Judy Shepard's gay son Matthew Shepard was murdered in October 1998. The 21-year-old University of Wyoming student's death remains one of America's most high-profile cases of hate crime against an LGBTQI+ person. The grieving Shepards created a foundation in his name, and led the fight to pass the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Act, to help the federal government track and prosecute LGBTQI+ hate crimes. Dennis and Judy have been visiting New Zealand speaking at a range of events, including with NZ Police, to highlight LGBTQI+ security concerns and share their story.

In November 2021, a prominent teacher at the Philippine High School of Arts in Los Baños, Laguna died under vague circumstances. This was the start of an avalanche of revelations about this teacher's sexually abusive behaviour and the school that protected him all these years.His death was the catalyst that broke a seal of silence amongst former students of the Philippine High School of Arts who have been harbouring secrets and nightmarish trauma from their youth - trauma from being sexually abused by students, staffers and teachers who should have known better as adults with a duty of care towards vulnerable individuals.Details of the scandal would not have made it beyond Luzon or the Philippines were it not for an intrepid reporter for VICE News, JC Gotinga, who broke news of the scandal in June 2022. He interviewed numerous former students who told him of their experiences, what the school did in the aftermath and how their lives turned out after leaving the exclusive school.This episode owes everything to JC Gotinga's reporting as well as videos from GMA, ABSCBN and One News PH.

I also encourage you to watch the YouTube videos from the three channels I mentioned in the episodeI have tried to collate all the information in these main sources and some secondary sources as well to give an overview of the case and give my own thoughts on the matter, an issue that deeply disturbs me.I hope you find value in this episode.If you have experienced something similar as described in the episode, please reach out and talk to someone.

Auckland Council has teamed up with NZ Police in a new initiative to enhance safety in the city centre. The 'Together for Tamaki Makaurau' partnership is designed to establish a more visible safety presence on Auckland streets from Karangahape Road to the waterfront. Auckland Council CityWatch and Compliance teams, police, Māori Wardens and Community Patrols NZ (CPNZ) will run co-ordinated efforts to address anti-social behaviour and crime in the CBD. Heart of the City CEO Viv Beck says these efforts will address the social issues and deterioration that's impacted the area over the last three years. "It's about the crime, the social issues and also some of the anti-social types of behaviour. One of the things we have said is that it doesn't replace the need for more police."

A US lawyer is cautioning New Zealand police to think twice about becoming more reliant on American taser and drone supplier Axon. The police are poised to replace their old Axon tasers with new ones that shoot further. They also use an Axon system called evidence.com to store footage from taser cameras and interview videos. Axon also sells body worn cameras, but police here have just ruled out using them Attorney Max Isaacs is an adviser to the former independent ethics board at Axon that quit last year over its putting tasers on drones.

Netsafe is reporting an 88 percent rise in cases of sextortion since 2019. It is a type of blackmail when someone threatens to share a nude image or sexually explicit video of you online - unless you pay them or provide more sexual content. Netsafe has received reports from victims from as young as 10, to over the age of 65. The majority of reported cases are from men, though women can be impacted too. NZ Police told it cannot provide data specific to offending where it is linked to the use of a dating app. However it says anecdotally offending linked to dating apps, social media, or other online platforms is a reality that people need to be aware of. Netsafe chief online safety officer Sean Lyons speaks with Susie Ferguson.
The Police Association says there's no doubt there's been an increase in crime. Reports of thefts and acts intended to cause injury have risen sharply and serious assaults have more than doubled in the past five years. Ginny Andersen told TVNZ that reports have significantly increased since it became easier to report through a new app. Vice President Paul Ormerod told Mike Hosking that crime has been reported more because there's actually more crime to report. He says crime wouldn't be the number two thing that New Zealanders are most concerned about if people felt safe. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Two soldiers have revealed they disobeyed Civil Defence orders so they could rescue people trapped in Esk Valley during Cyclone Gabrielle. Locals there were stranded on roofs as floodwaters raged around them. The two reservists, based near Napier say they were ordered to go on a rescue mission to Glengarry Road near Puketapu but decided the bigger emergency was in Esk Valley and went there instead. Jemima Huston reports. RNZ received the following response from the Commanding Officer of 5/7 Battalion Lieutenant Colonel Andrew Fortune. "The actions of the two 5/7 Battalion soldiers in the immediate response to Cyclone Gabrielle were nothing short of courageous and worthy of praise. "Often in these scenarios, our people and assets are prepositioned in certain locations based on previous experiences of weather events. "In this instance, our people, along with FENZ and NZ Police were responding to multiple requests for assistance in the middle of the night in very dynamic and challenging circumstances, where communications were being stretched. "They did not 'break the chain of command' and instead they should be described as being both incredibly experienced and senior personnel who used their initiative to respond to communities in need."

We eventually ended up in New Zealand (Auckland is where I now call home) and I thought a career in the NZ Police was what I was cut out for.I wanted to make the world a better place.18 months into the job, a fellow constable was assaulted on the job and I went to multiple suicides where I had to inform their family members, all in a short amount of time. This was when I began to lose touch with myself, my emotions and everything I thought I'd gone into this job for. Instead of making the world a better place, I couldn't even understand my own world and what was happening to me.What developed was a burning desire to run away from everything and everyone I held close, burnt out with PTSD, depression, anxiety, and paranoia. My mental state kept me barely existing and the job I had so desired and loved had literally made me sick. This was now going on seven years into the job. I realized I had to make a change and sought out the answers to get myself performing and living life on my terms again.Through the help and connection of a tribe, I quickly recognized how powerful it is to develop and truly understand yourself and who you indeed are under all the masks. Only then can you be effective and perform at a level where you are creating a fulfilling life at every turn. Through hours of coaching, science-based studying, personal development, and research not only on myself but with others, I now have a proven method to understand what happiness and health truly look like.Let me show you how peak performance comes through being a master of your physical and mental self. Create a life where you can help others, be a better leader, and be fulfilled no matter what your journey. Being prepared for what the future can throw at you physically and emotionally allows you to stay in the moment and enjoy every day to its fullest. Let me give you the knowledge and let's create that future of your dreams.Thank you for taking the time to give this podcast a listen.
