Thanks for the vote Scott but I think it's really important to show you all a variety of work from a variety of perspectives. Doesn't mean I'm going anywhere, I'll be doing these for a while yet and hopefully so will some others. - Constable Hurn.

Hi johnny I want to be a cop when I’m older In Nz police

@@newzealandpolice hi

Thanks, it's good to be back! - Constable Hurn.

agreed

Fr

Yep, holidays are fun but it's great to be back, thanks for watching. - Constable Hurn.

Constable hurnia

Thanks Jennifer, I'll be posting up for as long as you all want to see them. - Constable Hurn.

Licharra you another robot slave drone to the system congratulations education system has taught you how to judge people now you can go lock them all up !!!!

Check out the Auckland Police College series on our channel, should give you a good idea of the work. - Constable Hurn.

Nah it never is, just dealing with a few too many emails but once that's out of the way it's all good stuff. - Constable Hurn.

Do it! - Constable Hurn.

I see what you did there :), - Constable Hurn.

I have ditched many a coffee and the occasional sandwich, there have definitely been meals left in microwaves and out on tables too. - Constable Hurn.

Auckland Police TV can we get an F in the chat for all that food

Cintex oh yeah yeah

Yeah I gotta get around to it haha, still haven't got one but I should have it sorted soon. - Constable Hurn.

Hi Lilly, haha a few people have said hi, still catches me off guard a bit sometimes! Thanks for watching - Constable Hurn.

Yeah it does, specialist forensic officers are always on hand to help gather evidence. They did an amazing job on this car, plenty of leads to follow up on now. Constable Hurn.

Thanks! - Constable Hurn.

Heading into my third year now, I'm excited too there will be some changes for me so I'm keen for some new challenges and to show you all more of the work we do. - Constable Hurn.

Good luck!!!

Not so much for me, the trick is to focus on the task at hand, go through the process and deal with how you feel about it afterwards. - Constable Hurn.

Thanks mate, I'll sort that now. - Constable Hurn.

Just a heads up, there's a whole series on the recruitment process in the context of the trial Auckland wing. Give that a look and it should hopefully have everything you're after!

@@Alex-mu8lv thanks very much 😁 I've watched those videos so many times haha. I sort of meant more of the process from applying to getting into college. I know there's a lot of information on newcops about it, but just thought a video would be cool with some training tips, advice and what to expect 😊

@@boeingtashSFS www.chatcops.co.nz is an awesome resource :)

Yep I watch it! Who's your favourite? - Constable Hurn.

Auckland Police TV It would have to be Detective Peralta he’s hilarious. What about yourself?

I was in my mid 20s, there is no real age I'd recommend it's more about your personal development and how mature you are. The job can be tough and complex so having a good amount of life experience is definitely a plus. - Constable Hurn.

Yes, there is nowhere in our great country that isn't near water of some kind so it's a really important skill. There are tests at Police College so you will need to be reasonably confident. - Constable Hurn.

Wish I could mate. Already sat the PSO exam :/

Anything that adds to your life experience is going to be a good thing and make you a better Police Officer. BTW we're actually a Police Service not a Police Force, it might seem like a minor detail but I think it's a signal of how we're different. - Constable Hurn.

Rosters are set quite far in advance, some more flexibly than others. My current roster means I usually get Sundays and Mondays off it's not the standard rolling roster worked by PST teams. - Constable Hurn.

It's certainly a highly requested topic so I guess it will have to be in there. - Constable Hurn.

Thanks

It's a secret :) - Constable Hurn.

Probably was me, good spotting. - Constable Hurn.

I actually don't, everyone does two years on the front line before specializing. Detective takes a good few years to get to, dog handlers and people in the organised crime units are often highly experienced cops before joining those teams as well so it's hard to say what you'd get paid. - Constable Hurn.

Auckland Police TV, thanks for that!

Ok, this is gonna be an essay because I passionately believe if you've got the right mentality nothing should stop you. To begin with I'd say passing the PCT is 100% about training and the wall is all about technique, I've certainly seen shorter women manage it. If it's something you're worried about the PT trainers will help you and give you time to practice. On the other question, part of the job is physical but it's not a majority. I've been in quite a number of physical confrontations and I'm not larger than most offenders. I've relied on careful observation, moving fast, using the tools on my belt and communicating with my team. Technique helps here and doing something like Jiu Jitsu on the side will boost your skill and confidence. That said, communication is the most powerful tool, good communication can save the fight from even taking place. Overall I'd say being reliable, motivated and mentally resilient is more important and more helpful than just being big, if you've got that those things then don't worry about size. Hope that helps. - Constable Hurn.

We wear them on patrol, if we're walking around or doing bar checks you'll often see us in hats. Roadside I do wear it sometimes but when get in and out of the car in a rush I just leave it behind. - Constable Hurn.

Not going to lie, shift work is tough on your social life sometimes. Weekends, holidays, they are busy times for the Police so you might find yourself working when everyone else is out and free when everyone else is at work. That said not all roles in the Police are shift work and even some that are have consistent days off so it's easy to plan. - Constable Hurn.

lol You say that like Police Ten 7 wasn't mostly about South Auckland already. If I had a dollar for every mugshot they showed of a South Auckland male...

Then a tow truck is the only option, even still it's cheaper than the fines. - Constable Hurn.

Haha it was a bit of a handful though, glad you liked it. - Constable Hurn.

Mid twenties, and yep I've met many. Auckland is a real multi-cultural city, part of what makes it such a great place to work. - Constable Hurn.

Auckland Police TV that’s good to know Constable Hurn and yes Auckland is multi cultural city and you met people from different cultures and backgrounds

Yep, round Coro, the east cape, down the east coast and all the way around to welly then up the west coast home. Took me a little under two weeks! I'd rather have the 07 but my bank account is happier with the 03. - Constable Hurn.

@@newzealandpolice Nice road trip! I sold my much loved and cared for MT-03 and within about a month the new owner had written it off :(. I recommend the little GP style Akrapovic slip-on can for the MT-03. Makes it sound really good, pops and crackles when you downshift, but it's still well under the legal 100 dB limit. Safer when you're in traffic too; less likely to have someone right next to you change lanes into you, or over you.

Nah the cars don't. We do have caged vans we could use if someone was really kicking off though. - Constable Hurn.
