  Nz police

  Feb 1975 - Jul 1994

  Senior constable

  Service in the NZ Police included periods in Auckland involved in sectional, enquiry, investigative, Team Policing and Search and Rescue and relieving roles at Orewa, Warkworth & Wellsford. In later years sole charge positions at Woodville and Ruakaka dealing with a wide variety of events. In my time at Woodville it was upgraded to a two Man Station due to the workload and while at the Waipu Police Station I was able to influence the Police to establish a new Police Station at Ruakaka in Northland which has continued to grow in size and staffing.
