I’ll be writing these blogs on a regular basis, keeping you in touch with what is involved in being a police officer. I thought that, as this is my first blog, I would give you a quick run down of who I am, what I do and why I joined the police in the first place.

I had always considered joining the police, but after finishing school I just followed everyone else I knew off to uni. It was not until a friend was calling me from Police College in the first few weeks of his training that I decided that I wanted to be doing exactly the same as he was doing.

I went out for a few ride alongs with the local police and I was hooked. I joined the police in August 2007 and then spent 5 months down in Wellington at the Royal New Zealand Police College. From there I was posted to the frontline in Counties Manukau where I spent the next 2 and a bit years. I have just spent 10 months in an Intelligence Section in a Monday to Friday job and now I’m back out on the beat in one of the new neighbourhood policing teams.

In my new role I get in and amongst the community and help them to solve the issues they’re facing. It’s both challenging but rewarding – I get to play sport with the kids on Fridays but also get the adrenaline rush of frontline jobs. In my next blog I will share a few stories of interesting times I have had in the job.

See you later :)

Clare
