    This looks like an Idelized version of what people used to think the Police force was in a average US small town. When I tell people "move to NZ", I'm glad to see that I'm still making a good recommendation.
    This explains why every performance shop I've ordered parts from (mainly Rotorua and Christchurch) or spoken to has been staffed by the nicest and most helpful people I've ever met.
    How nice to see Police doing their protecting and serving happily and receiving a level of mutual respect, I am more surprised by the 100% positive comments than anything!
    Keep up the great work 👏

    I would rather see an hour of small town community police going through their daily life than watch criminals getting caught over and over again any day of the week. These Police look very approachable, for just about anything. These videos are really putting a positive message out there for the world to see! Ake! Ake! Kia Kaha E!

    I'm originally from Westport. In 1955 or 56, i was 15 or 16yo, my eldest brother and a family friend were spotlighting from the road on the Reefton side of The Landing. I was the driver of the ute. A deer was shot over in a paddock, my brother and our mate went to recover the deer, i stayed with the ute. An old car came slowly along the road from Inangahua and stopped opposite, the driver asking me if my vehicle was broken down. Further questions from the driver ensued and i revealed we had shot a deer. The occupants of the old car alighted and came to talk to me, they were Reefton Constables. Our friend had an unregistered rifle, and was duly prosecuted and fined for that. How fair was that, they could have had us for discharging a firearm from the road but did not. Pretty decent i think. Bob W. Later MoT Officer for several years. Wayne Taurima, dog handler Porirua, was a personal friend and colleague of mine mid 1960s.

    • @deanwitt7903

      City cops have to deal with a lot more trailer park trash on a daily basis . Trash that it don’t matter how many times you tell them they can’t help themselves but get in trouble . In small communities the trash tends to get moved on sooner because they feel the community also against them . In small communities police tend to know where the offenders live and hang out but in cities they can be anywhere . You can’t blame city cops for being more under the pump and cynical .
