I just want to say something. I am really really sorry to all NZ cops for losing one of your own. I would hate if this happened again to anyones family members and I hope all the NZ cops are fighting and trying there hardest everyday to keep NZ safe and I just want to thank you heaps. I know Matthew Hunt was a great police officer and I wish that never happened. I"m sorry about this.
6:51 I respect that you not disclose information that compromises the investigation. There are some we can say, but other times must keep it out of words and keep it to ourselves.
100% agree on the lights when it's foggy (or raining), I drive a grey car and I'm always super conscious of the fact that its harder to see than most other colours. What's the rules on flashing your lights to remind people?
sadly some people thinks "lights=illuminate where they going" not to stand out from surround. they thought they can see where they going which may be true but, less likely to get spotted.
We might take turns, or both go it depends on the job. Can't drive off without your partner so it doesn't really speed things up or slow them down. - Constable Hurn.
Constable Hurn, once again a wonderful upload. I'm just curious if your videos get vetted by either superiors or the NZP media unit prior to uploading? Our media units here across the ditch don't like it when they're not the ones in charge of such video productions, and even our comments on social media can be edited or deleted if we post in an official capacity. Kudos to NZP management for being proactive and supportive with these (I'd imagine if they didn't you'd be posted to either the Chathams or Stewart Island!!). Take care out there!
Hey Don! Yeah I submit them to the media team for review. Comments I get to just reply to which is nice. I've got some great bosses who've been very supportive. - Constable Hurn.
QUESTION'S FOR THE DETECTIVES: - What is the hardest part about being a detective? - How do you respond to incidents in a culturally respective manner ?
Well I can't answer the first one but a few people have asked so I'll check in with my detective mates and see what they say. As for your second question I'll quote some advice from a particularly entertaining Sergeant at Police college "Just be a good person." If you can do that while not shying away from your duty to enforce the law then you'll be sweet. - Constable Hurn.
Exciting seeing the videos uploaded, So Jonny I’m in University and thinking of pursuing a bit of Criminal Justice as I wish to pursue becoming a police officer. What else would you suggest I do to help me look good to the selection board? Also you’re definitely taking to the camera well enjoying the vlog series. -Thomas
Thanks Thomas. Law is helpful also psychology, sociology, criminology basically anything that involves communicating with or learning about people and behavior. Good luck with your studies. - Constable Hurn.
Well to be honest I wouldn't get through many Fridays, our specialists have some cool toys but I couldn't show those and most of the rest drive the standard police car. I might do a tour of the new wagons if I have some time once we get one though - Constable Hurn.
@@lucky-moto2332 I carry a multi-tool that has a knife on it, lots of us have cable/wire cutters of different kinds for various jobs, you can see in my Gear video, (episode 5). The plastic cuffs are a new addition, I used to use two large cable ties for it but these are much better. - Constable Hurn.
Hi, I'd like to know if there are any places for nurses in the police force? I've heard that there is a nurses role in forensics for example when investigating medical/ sudden death cases but I'm not sure if that is an actual job? Thanks!
There are many roles in the service that a qualified nurse would definately accell at although I'm not aware of roles outside of sworn staff for nurses. - Constable Hurn.
Hard to say off the top of my head, I'd guess the average is probably mid 20's but you do see lots both younger and older. Are you thinking of applying soon? - Constable Hurn.
Hi Johnny, I noticed one thing about your police radio ear piece. It looks a bit different compare to the ones I have seen with other policemans. Your one kind of strucks out a bit from your ear canal. Any reason for this ?
It's not a standard one, It just seems to fit me nicely without blocking the sound around me too much although I have a more traditional one for large crowds at events. - Constable Hurn.
Auckland Police TV Thanks for reply. I am a police applicant with hearing aids. The radio piece you got currently, did you had to make a special request for it ? This one seem to might work with a hearing aid inside my ear canal.
Nah I just brought it. That one does actually go inside the ear canal. I'm not sure what would work for you but chat to recruiting as they might be able to find someone with a better solution. - Constable Hurn.
What questions have you got Matt? Have you seen the Q and A's over on the new cops website? They might have the answers you're looking for. - Constable Hurn.
@@newzealandpolice Haha thanks but no the Q and Q doesnt help much. I was going to say I'm 27 but suffer from dyslexia so I miss spell things from time to time plus I also have a partner so can I chose where I want to be based?
I've worked with a cop who has Dyslexia, perfect spelling isn't a requirement, it might be worth calling recruiting and getting some more advice as they have undoubtedly helped other people navigate a path through with that challenge. As for placements, you do get some choice, you get recruited to a specific district and could be sent anywhere within it. In Auckland there are three districts: City, Counties Manukau and Waitemata. Each of those districts has a few main stations you could be posted to at the end of College. They are all geographically close but in rural districts the stations can be further apart. If a specific location is important to you talk to recruiting about it, it's probably just a matter of waiting a little be longer for the right spot to come up. - Constable Hurn.
They are all detectives but yes we have specialist teams who focus on specific types of crime. The organised crime and drug teams are definitely something I'm interested in - Constable Hurn.
Is it true that there is no limit to when you can report an assault, sexual or physical? So if one happened many months ago you're still able to come forward and report it?
Hi Sophie, the sooner we know the better because evidence can be lost over time but we are always here to listen and work the case as best we can regardless of the time it's reported. - Constable Hurn.
Auckland Police TV i think you should , would be an awesome step ! Im really starting to think about joining up , just feeling a bit nervous about applying.
I know it's sensitive, but what is the approximate salary for a Detective Constable? I've tried looking around but the only salary information I can find relates to newly graduated Constable salary.
It's not sensitive, it's Official Information. You can request it yourself via an OIA request. Check fyi.org.nz/ or alternatively: forms.police.govt.nz/oiarequest
Most of the time we collect it with a simple mouth swab. Blood samples can also be taken if requested but it's not the easiest option. A specialist lab handles the DNA once it's sent off in the sample kit. - Constable Hurn.
@@newzealandpolice also a big thanks to the police who were dispatched to assist after the attacks in Christchurch...i live only 100 m from the Linwood mosque...very scary situation to be in.....it felt so out of the ordinary....thank you for what you do...protecting our country.....safer communities together
It takes a few years, you've gotta get your probationary period done first which takes two years then you can look at a role with the detectives. - Constable Hurn.
One time My best friend was speeding and we were going past a intersection. then out of blue and Red holden Commodore Apperd. My friend Hit the brakes so hard. The holden followed us for a little while until we arrived at an Red light. The holden Pulled up next to us. It turns out they were an old couple.
Why do you wear the Vest From the Outside Not inside then you Can Be Better in Stake outs and With the Belt for Detectives Just have a Taser and Badge on the Belt?
You still have to wear a police vest? Dammit it ain't like csi Miami where they wear those cool black suits and sunglasses that they know looks cool on them.
Some of the detectives wear suits but we all wear external vests when we are doing frontline work. CSI is not very realistic at all, sorry to break the magic. - Constable Hurn.
I have pondered this at great length and have gotten better at packing food but sometime the ham triple calls to me and I must answer. - Constable Hurn.
Copy, RO is drivers only, male showing all current, no interest. - Constable Hurn. (in reality there would be more details about you but I'll keep them secret.)
wow! really enjoyed this episode. I always love watching these. I am currently training for my pat rehearsal, and this is very inspiring.
My rule of thumb is treat every commadore like a cop😂
Itll potentially save u a few hundred dollars and demerits😂
Alternatively you could follow the rules, don't need to worry about tickets if you're driving legit. ;) - Constable Hurn.
SKIDZ ALL DAY CHURRR
Nah come on dude😂
I know people that have been fined for something as little as not indicating left as theyve exited a roundabout
Michael Barnett good. People who don’t indicate cause a whole lotta confusion, especially at roundabouts
Not really, not if ur going straight
Johnny Hurn is back yes love the vlogs
0:25 Today's quote from Auckland TV :-)
You guys are the best at handling stuff. You rock🤜
Honestly took me until about last year when I realised detectives were a real thing and not just movie characters
I just want to say something. I am really really sorry to all NZ cops for losing one of your own. I would hate if this happened again to anyones family members and I hope all the NZ cops are fighting and trying there hardest everyday to keep NZ safe and I just want to thank you heaps.

Awesome episode. This excites me big time. So keen to do frontline for 4 years or so then go towards detective work.
6:51 I respect that you not disclose information that compromises the investigation. There are some we can say, but other times must keep it out of words and keep it to ourselves.
Johnny, your presentation is immaculate sir.
5:40 “people don’t tend to notice you”
Don’t worry, a lot of us do :>
Anyone else like the video before you actually start it because you know your gonna love it?
ENCHANTmatrix I get that a lot
100% agree on the lights when it's foggy (or raining), I drive a grey car and I'm always super conscious of the fact that its harder to see than most other colours. What's the rules on flashing your lights to remind people?
sadly some people thinks "lights=illuminate where they going" not to stand out from surround. they thought they can see where they going which may be true but, less likely to get spotted.
Any particular reason why it's usually the driver who gets out on traffic stops? Wouldn't you want the driver to be ready in case the car takes off?
We might take turns, or both go it depends on the job. Can't drive off without your partner so it doesn't really speed things up or slow them down. - Constable Hurn.

Ever thought of doing like a fleet friday or something? Where you show off a different police vehicle each Friday?
Well to be honest I wouldn't get through many Fridays, our specialists have some cool toys but I couldn't show those and most of the rest drive the standard police car. I might do a tour of the new wagons if I have some time once we get one though - Constable Hurn.
Auckland Police TV ah bugger, fair enough
If you where not a police officer what other job would you like to do
Do detectives work on the same roster as front line police or is their roster different?
Some do work on our roster but most of the investigative staff work more stable hours. - Constable Hurn.
Love the vlogs 🙌🏽
Love this series and you!
This is cool. Chur from Australia
We back riding with the cops
Hey mate, what is the black thing in your vest at the end of the video? Also love the videos! Like alot!
ASP Tri-Fold plastic cuffs. They are for our bigger clients. - Constable Hurn.
I thought it might have been a knife, are police officers allowed to carry knives?
@@lucky-moto2332 I carry a multi-tool that has a knife on it, lots of us have cable/wire cutters of different kinds for various jobs, you can see in my Gear video, (episode 5). The plastic cuffs are a new addition, I used to use two large cable ties for it but these are much better. - Constable Hurn.
After the investigation, after the trial/conviction... What happens to all the evidence? Stored? Destroyed?
Depends on what it is, who owns it and what it was used for. Lots of things like tools, weapons and drug equipment gets destroyed. - Constable Hurn.
Hi, I'd like to know if there are any places for nurses in the police force? I've heard that there is a nurses role in forensics for example when investigating medical/ sudden death cases but I'm not sure if that is an actual job? Thanks!

Any tips for applying and training for the police? :)
Be fit and literate.
@Auckland Police TV, what percentage/amount of people in a wing start police college at 18? Or even
Hard to say off the top of my head, I'd guess the average is probably mid 20's but you do see lots both younger and older. Are you thinking of applying soon? - Constable Hurn.
I’m 18 and applying at the end of the year/next year
Do the detectives need to keep up to scratch regarding their PCT? 2 year renewal?
Yep, everyone who is operationally deployed has to. - Constable Hurn.
9:13 THATS NOT A NOIF

Why were you making what looked like routine arrests while operating with the detectives? Do they all have to get out on the beat?
Yep when they aren't busy with investigative work they like to head out and patrol too so there was still a few more ordinary jobs. - Constable Hurn.
A Kybher Pass BP special sandwich?
What’s the best part and the worst part of being a detective? Any advice for someone wanting to be one?
Is there different types of detectives? For example ones who may specialize in deaths vs some who might specialize in illicit substances?

4 months.
Can an international student join the nz police training institute?

anyone else here MUSE at 445 ?
What's the hardest thing to do being a detective..
problem solving.
At 6:16 why did the detective have her gun holstered?
Police are allowed to carry their weapons.
I think the cops still have their guns with them since ChCh, local cops in my town are carrying
Must be cool to ride with a squad on the road
So do you have to keep airsoft guns in a safe?
Better to do so,but a pcp air rifle would have to go under the same rules as a licensed firearm.
What are the police car that are normal call
We call the white ones with the external lights "marked". The ones that are just plain we call "unmarked". - Constable Hurn.
Why do you wear the Vest From the Outside Not inside then you Can Be Better in Stake outs and With the Belt for Detectives Just have a Taser and Badge on the Belt?
The vests have pockets for items they may need on the job. Also i doubt the vest would be very comfortable against the skin.
True
