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 want to encourage you to read his main article and his follow- up article published shortly after the main one. 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. He says charging forward with this is irresponsible. Reporter Phil Pennington spoke to Isaacs.

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 Privacy Commissioner is frustrated by the New Zealand Police's recent serious privacy breach.

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.

This IPCA report into how police handled the Parliamentary protest last year is not good for Andrew Coster. Frontline police come out of this really well, they clearly did the best they could in really difficult situations. When you read this report and listen again to what happened that day, the bricks being hurled at police, the violence of that hard-line crowd left at the end - it's hard not to be impressed by the front line officers and how the vast majority of them held their cool and cleaned that place up without a huge amount of injury. They did that while being very obviously let down by their bosses, that is indisputable from this report. Police National Headquarters let those officers down in a number of ways that have been recorded in this report, but two stand out to me as the worst. The first one is February 10, that was the first time the police tried to clear Parliament's grounds. You might remember that the police formed a big line in the morning and started pushing people back towards the tents. They started arresting protestors, but in the end got nowhere and gave up that afternoon.  That day is a shambles. It was never going to succeed and it is squarely on Andrew Coster. Because he made the call personally to conduct that operation in a hurry. What happened was that the night before, a bunch of Government ministers and the Speaker Trevor Mallard met together, decided they wanted the place cleaned up, and then called Andrew Coster. After that, Coster decided he wanted an operation and made the order. Wellington police were told at 10pm they needed to clean the place up. At 8 the next morning, the operation started but police were unprepared. They didn't have enough time to plan, so they didn't have a plan, they didn't have enough staff, they didn't have enough equipment. It was obvious before midday the operation would fail, but they kept going until 20 to five before calling it off. As the report says: The operation that Andrew Coster ordered was unlikely to succeed. Then the second failure- on the day that they actually managed to clear the place, March 2nd, they sent officers in without enough equipment. The officers weren't allowed hard body armour in case it made the protestors angry. One sergeant borrowed 2 tasers to share between his three squads of up to 20 people, and they brought in recruits who hadn't even graduated yet. The guy who borrowed the tasers ended up with a broken clavicle, that is how rough it got in there. I don't think this is resignation material for Coster because the worst didn't happen. No one died. There were few injuries in the end. The grounds were cleared. And he can thank the front line for saving his skin on that. But it's hard to see him being reappointed when his term is up in a couple of years. Because this report gives the impression of a guy who consistently doesn't know the right call to make.

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.

On this episode, we talked about: The foundations are what keep you alive Fight or flight method Training hard is giving what you have at that moment Work hard but respect every day Not knowing your values and who you are Gaining ownership over yourself Having confidence in who you are Physiology is your base Disassociate what you do from who you are Our purpose is not near our trajectory in life We get to choose anything we want to be Feeling like I needed to be seen When you recognize your why, you can change it We are the hero to our own story How we train, is how we turn up for the rest of our life Having integrity in yourself Honoring myself first, then family and the work Taking messy action to change things "When we train hard, and train to the limits, the test becomes so much easier, because we can adapt"   "By knowing who you are, you're actually clear, you have a clear precise direction"   "We believe that we are certain image and we lose our identity in the process"     About Chris: Chris is an American-Kiwi, who arrived in NZ in 2004.

Today on Crimes NZ we're going back nearly 60 years to investigate one of New Zealand's biggest fraudsters. In 1966, a Salvation Army captain was steering a barge up Waitemata Harbour when he spotted a mysterious suitcase floating in the water. It turned out to contain documents from Leidrum and Hartnell, a company that had recently opened a franchise in Auckland to sell cosmetics. Problem was, the cosmetics never arrived, and the franchisee, Robert Gardner, had already left the country with a bag full of cash. Joseph Sheehan BEM is a retired JP and former national head of the NZ Police's intelligence section, and was the detective sergeant put on to Gardner back in the 60s. He talks to Jesse about the extraordinary case.

More than $2 million of stolen money stashed in New Zealand by overseas crooks is being seized by police and will be sent back off shore to the victims. An investigation's linked the money to a dodgy investment scheme - Venus FX run in Malaysia. A court here has ruled the ill-gotten gains being kept in two NZ bank accounts were likely being laundered. NZ Police asset recovery manager, Detective Inspector Craig Hamilton, says it was an international operation.

On this episode, we talked about: How Chris started as a policeman Starting to lose who I was Not knowing who I really am Disconnecting from work Taking time for myself Putting myself first to show up fully Embracing your masculinity Being brutally honest Being vulnerable and having the ability to open up Knowing what I want to do Identifying who you really are "When I'm off duty, I don't want to be around people, I don't want to look at anyone, because they are all threats"   "Talk: tell everyone what's going on and don't hold back, be brutally honest"   "When you're false and you're not honest then people don't see you"   About Chris: Chris is an American-Kiwi, who arrived in NZ in 2004. He joined the NZ Police in 2011 and after a seven-year career, during which time he protected The Rt Hon Sir John Key (New Zealand's Prime Minister), he experienced severe burnout that caused him to leave the job he once loved.

Chris explains how policing abroad has its own unique concerns with officer health. From Chris: "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, 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 on how 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 your own emotions. Only then can you be effective and perform at a level where you are creating a life that is fulfilling at every turn. Through hours of coaching, 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 looks like.Let me show you how peak performance comes through being a master of your emotional state. 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 through at you financially and emotionally allows you to stay in the moment and enjoy everyday to its fullest. Let me give you the knowledge and lets create that future of your dreams."His Website: https://www.knockingdemonfitness.com/supportWe (Talking Filthy Police Podcast) are not health professionals but merely a conduit to pass on information and resources to LEOs who may need or want it.This show is sponsored by Filthy Pirate Coffee and can be found on all social media platforms and https://filthypirate.coffeeHit the like, share, follow and subscribe buttons.

Imagine getting the news that your busted shoulder will, in fact, need urgent surgery.  Then getting in the car and going straight home to get on a podcast interview with me.   Well, that's what today's guest did, despite the frustrating situation he found himself in. Actually, it's exactly who he is that allows him to navigate shit like that and still have a great conversation.    ⁠I've learnt a few things about myself over the years. One of those is to write things down that pop into my head, or I'll likely forget them. Circle back to September 2020 and I heard someone on a radio show podcast and thought - ‘this dude is switched on, I need to get him on the podcast' - so I wrote down his name and the date of the podcast.   Then forgot about it. Then I heard him again on the same radio show in New Zealand a few weeks back. I went back to my notes, found his name and the episode and listened to it again and in that moment stopped what I was doing and searched how to get hold of Lance Burdett.   I dig some digging, reached out, got a response, we booked a time and then I thanked my previous self.   I reached out to Lance because I wanted to explore his vast experience and expertise in navigating crisis, the brain, and being an ex-top cop negotiator for the NZ Police.   In this Episode: Lance and I start off by exploring some of his history, having left a secure job in the police at 57 to start his own business consulting on navigating tough situations and building genuine resiliency.   We have a conversation about how as the top crisis and suicide negotiator he was, in fact, himself, suicidal.   Lance is real, raw, extremely well-spoken, smart, likeable, and great to have a chat with about the brain, about men and seeking help, and navigating lifes' tough situations.   I enjoyed this chat. I trust you take something valuable away from this episode. Please share it with a man you think could benefit from it also. And if you can prioritise 2 minutes, I ask you to do ME a solid and like and rate and review this podcast on iTunes - it supports us in getting this podcast in front of more everyday men who can benefit from but don't yet have this information.   Lance's bio: Following a successful career in construction, Lance Burdett spent 22 years as a cop and became the lead crisis negotiator. He trained in New Zealand, Australia, England and the USA with the elite units of police, prisons, emergency services, the military, and the FBI. Lance has an MA majoring in Terrorism, Safety & Security, a Diploma in Policing, a Diploma in Business Studies, and is completing a Diploma in Positive Psychology and Wellbeing. He published the bestselling books – Behind The Tape and Dark Side of the Brain – and is writing a third book about anxiety. He also makes regular media appearances.   Where to find Lance: Website: http://www.warninternational.com/ Twitter: https://mobile.twitter.com/warninternation YouTube: here   Other Ways To Consume this podcast: iTunes Spotify YouTube Mike's Website   Get Involved: Subscribe to podcast on Apple Follow on Spotify Sign up for Mike's LEGENDAILY Emails to help you with a daily shot of loving straight talk direct to your pocket Want to explore DEEP coaching support and guidance with Mike?
