Thank you for being so honest and down to earth about everything. That’s what I really like about this series. With my goal in the next year to apply, I am really loving it.
This series just makes me want to become a Police Officer even more! Thanks for being honest about what its like, Im so keen the start the recruitment process! Thanks Constable Hurn!! Cant wait for more, keep it up!!!!
I’m from the U.S and watching these is so interesting. My major in college is criminal justice and I’ve done multiple ride alongs and everything is so different down to your attitudes. Honestly just seeing someone in the back without handcuffs made me anxious lol. Love these !
i know this comment is a year old but if people are uncuffed, there is an officer sitting next to them in the back seat as you can see in the video. If they are aggressive, they are cuffed and/or put into a ‘divvy van’ which is basically a police car with a compartment specially for the person arrested.
Hey Johnny, you're an absolute legend mate. I'm currently recruiting to join the NZ Police and these VLOGS have just made me so keen to get out on the frontline and do my bit! I look forward to seeing the next one! :)
Hey guys thank you for keeping our streets safe. Awsome series I'm loving it! Im keen to become a cop too but just curious as whether if would it make a difference if I applied now, as a 19 year old versus, a couple years later after I have finished uni?
Keep up the great work man! The videos are totally awesome, very genuine & down-to-earth. And from the feedbacks, you're definitely an inspiration to our young ones so two thumbs up!!
Another well presented video. Sleeping (especially during your night shifts) can be quite difficult. I've found blackout curtains and some white noise in the background essential (Murphy's Law: Your neighbour will only mow his lawn between your night shifts!). You've probably familiarized yourself with it, so I won't scare you with the Circadian rhythm and the effects shift work has on your health. BTW, has the postman delivered any mail from Australia yet (I sent it to the station's PO Box)?
It's interesting how officers in different countries operate. In the U.S. the guy would have been in the cage in the back of the car with his hands handcuffed behind his back.
As a cop in the US I can agree that he would be in handcuffs. Anytime someone who is under arrest is in my squad they are in handcuffs. Though if they are cooperative I will put them in front for better comfort.
abcd1234 but that’s the thing. You just never know who that person is you arrest. They could try something sneaky and kill you where as the glass/cage protects the cop at least
Don't worry mate, the cops in NZ are just as much twisted liars. I never thought this until I experienced their "professionalism" for not wearing a bike helmet. They only show what they want you to see
I'm thoroughly enjoying these videos thank you so much. It made me feel not so alone when you mentioned maths was a struggle for you because it is for me as well! I'm getting some tutoring for that and hoping to apply next year when I'm confident I can pass. These videos are really interesting and are good motivation! Awesome work and really looking forward to the next one :)
Constable hurn.. love your work mate just watch your video n you are just awesome at doing your work looking forward watching your other videos on here..
Thank you so much for this awesome series! My goal is to apply in the next few years so this is a cool insight into what its like! One question....What are the restrictions with piercings and tattoos with being a cop? I don't have any tattoos but am just interested in what rules are behind having them along with peircings.
Georgia, you'll find police recruiters are more tolerant of tattoos than they once were (I'm in Australia, but NZP and our police operate very similar). Without sounding like a dinosaur going down memory lane, it used to be that police would visit the homes of shortlisted prospective recruits. Your lifestyle habits were put under the microscope (integrity assessments). If you had a tattoo, you were struck off the list. Constable Hurn and other NZP officers will be able to give you details of the current dress/personal presentation codes. When you apply, remember one important thing. It's not enough to prove to the recruitment team how good you are, but how much BETTER you are than the next applicant. Find out now what the selection criteria will include (teamwork, achievements, strengths, previous work/life history etc.) as they will form part of the questions asked during the interview. And if you don't get in first time, keep reapplying. It took me three attempts, on my third attempt I was one of 30 accepted out of 4,000 received applicants.
I’m really enjoying this series! Im just about to graduate with a commerce degree from UoA but this is really inspiring me to consider joining the police force! 😁
I'd definitely encourage you to have a chat to recruitment and give it a go, I know my degree has come in handy I'm sure Commerce would too! - Constable Hurn.
What I've always wondered is how police officers feel when they see something illegal, their friends or strangers doing it, while off duty? do you step in or think not my problem?
Yeah it's busy sometimes and overtime is certainly a part of some days but with a rolling roster and a good lot of time off I feel well rested and ready to go by the time I'm due back. It can be tough working shifts to spend time with people who don't. Holidays, weekends, public events, all that time most people have off we often don't so somethings you miss out on. In my mind it's all worth it. - Constable Hurn
Actually Hardeep on your restricted you can drive some kinds of family members, your Spouse or your dependent child (aka a child you legally have day to day care of) without a supervisor. For parents or siblings or other relatives you will need to get a supervisor or a full license. - Constable Hurn.
Can you talk about the relationship with you and your colleagues? Do you socialise after hours with your team, or limit that to keep it strictly profesh due to the critical nature of your role, is there a hierarchy or is the mutual respect pretty good? Thanks for the awesome vlogs, I really enjoy them 😊
Yeah I see my friends from work all the time outside of it. It's profession but that doesn't mean we don't have a tonne of fun within that. Yeah there are ranks, so a formal hierarchy and you can be ordered to do things, but in my experience, first names and casual conversations are more common than ranks and designations, lots of mutual respect too. - Constable Hurn.
Hey mate. Could you do a video on your experience dealing with human trauma? For example road accidents. I imagine it must take a while to get used to that sorta stuff.
I'd be really keen to, we are all challenged by things sometimes and it's different for everyone. Stay tuned, an episode soon might just feature this question. - Constable Hurn.
Ahh it was ok, a bit slow to start and the kinda power struggle between them could have been a more significant part of the story but I'm glad I saw it. - Constable Hurn
Haha yes exactly what my mates and I said, the beginning we were lost and bored then half way through is when it really started getting interesting. You should watch “The haunting of the house on the hill”. Seems like a good one
@@danarmstrong3423 call 111 is my usual answer. It depends on what it is, what the circumstances are, how urgent help is needed etc. There have been times were I've stopped and helped people off duty but mostly I try to take a break when I'm not at work and call the job in to my mates. - Constable Hurn.
Awesome to see how other countries work especially Auckland weird not seeing a prisoner cage for officer protection. You should look up mikey mo Vlogs he does very similar videos here in the United states (Florida) I saw your gear to video and subscribed look forward to more videos stay safe.
Thanks Jeremy. Our gear is quite different compared to our American LEO family. Cages are rare here, we've got custody vans for large events and particularly difficult people but most people arrested in NZ will find themselves sitting in the back of a car with a cop. Next episode drops tomorrow! - Constable Hurn.
@Ray White The Gap In Aus every state has their own police service/force so it varies depending on where you work. Each Station, District & Region have their own rostering systems.
Hi I was just wondering. Are police able to pull over anyone at anytime and ask them to do a breathalyzer and if so what law or statute allows this? Thank you :)
Hi Christina, both the power to stop you and breath test you are covered by The Land Transport Act 1998. Sections 114 and 68 respectively. - Constable Hurn.
the other week me and my mates were drunk driving and we were lost so we tried to turn around but the reverse jammed and we crashed and had to get the car towed out of a ditch haha not doing that again
Hi Constable Hurn, I have been training for the last few months to get fit for the police. I am 18 and just wanted to know about joining. I have smoked marijuana when I was 16 twice but I'm concerned the police recruitment will turn me down for this. Any advice on what to do?
I've been given a $630 fine with 50 demerits and smoke every day, and I'm still applying once I can. Just make sure you have no needle marks when you go for your interview and she'll be fine.
You have a quite popular in the Netherlands ( Politievlogger Jan-Willem ). Maybe you can take some notes from him. Your fun to watch, but nothing really happens (which might be normal in Auckland if nothing happens there). Or is it something due to the video files which have to get verified by a high officer first?
Yeah? I try not to watch too much Police stuff in my own time so I haven't seen it yet. The episodes are vetted and there are limits to what I can show so these episodes are just a snap shot of what I'm up to. - Constable Hurn.
Hi Constable Hurn. I’m finishing my second year of university now, but am interested in a career as a Police Officer. Is it worthwhile finishing my BCom before I apply? Thanks
Personally, I'd say finish it first, I really valued the degree I got and the Police value it now. Not so much for the piece of paper but for the process, for sticking to it and all the things I learned about learning, about the world and about myself along the way. - Constable Hurn.
Yep, every officer goes though the same steps at the start of their service; recruitment, initial training and then a two year work place assessment program. Once you've got enough experience you can apply for all kinds of roles, including Dog Squad! - Constable Hurn.
"You recognised me, i arrested you last time for the same reason."😂😂😂
This series has made me seriously consider becoming an officer, just finishing year 13 so perfect timing
Kurt Rayner doesnt school only go to year 12?
prep. grade 1-6
high school year 7 - 12?
Zan na here in New Zealand we go from year 1 all the way up to year 13
I'm also half way through my application, you should definitely do it
SFH MIGHTY MONGREL MOB lmao
Well good luck. Being a cop is probably one of the most mentally challenging jobs you could join.
Why are the NZ cops better looking than the Aus ones 😩
Agree... wait what? Why?
From Sydney myself and think the same too haha. New Zealand people in general are just calm natured (well atleast majority of them)
Thank you for being so honest and down to earth about everything. That’s what I really like about this series. With my goal in the next year to apply, I am really loving it.
Well good luck with your application Becca and thanks for the feedback! - Constable Hurn.

0:48 when officer Hurn gets his game face on, you know "split's" about to get real.
Loved this ep!! More like this pleas!! 👍🏼
Love watching the vlogs keep up the good work Constable Hurn you are doing an amazing job within the community.
Keep up the great work man! The videos are totally awesome, very genuine & down-to-earth. And from the feedbacks, you're definitely an inspiration to our young ones so two thumbs up!!
Love your vlogs!!!😃😃 have only justed started watching them and am now subscribed keep up the good work!!
Another well presented video.
Sleeping (especially during your night shifts) can be quite difficult. I've found blackout curtains and some white noise in the background essential (Murphy's Law: Your neighbour will only mow his lawn between your night shifts!). You've probably familiarized yourself with it, so I won't scare you with the Circadian rhythm and the effects shift work has on your health.
BTW, has the postman delivered any mail from Australia yet (I sent it to the station's PO Box)?
Yup, curtains and sometimes ear plugs. I've been keeping an eye out for it, I'll let you know once I've got it! - Constable Hurn.
Amazing vlogs as always Jonny! Looking forward to vlog 8 :)
You should make more NZ police vlogs Johnny hope your injury is healing a bit better
Haha u speak about sleep when I'm trying to sleep but I can't and its 1 15 am and I have school in the morning
I am so inspired by Constuble Hurn that’s why I am joining the police much love constuble
Definitely love these vblogs. Gives us great insight!
Thanks for your VLOG Jonny.

tnx for the show its realy nice and intersting
Great to hang with you guys. Hopefully you can make Washington DC during police week. First beers on me.
Be a long way from New Zealand but I wish I could, thanks for stopping in and checking out the other side of the world! - Constable Hurn.
I’m sorry, but was that final fantasy tent/sleep music at 2:23? 😯
Great vids! So helpful
I am loving this keep up the awesome work guys!!!
Is there a challenge on how many siren blips it takes for someone to pull over? :D (Start of vid)
Nope, sometimes people tune out the sounds around them though so changing siren sounds, or blipping it can help to catch attention. - Constable Hurn.
Interesting videos, the NZ police is so different than the my country. Please more videos. ☺️☺️
Every two weeks I put up another so subscribe and ring the bell! - Constable Hurn.
but why do these series make my fat self actually want to apply AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
If I do get pulled over (Very unlikely of course) I would be glad to see you :) even better I’d be on UA-cam :P
Here on police 10/7 we have a Samoan of skinny build who is totally drunk lol
Game faces on!
Lets go! Back with another video!
John Ng Lam is my amazing nephew ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Great videos, keep up the good work. What do you do when your're off the duty and see someone committing a driving offence i.e. speeding?
Awsome videos keep it up! Woild also be keen to know abit about how you guys deal with MVA's
What I've always wondered is how police officers feel when they see something illegal, their friends or strangers doing it, while off duty? do you step in or think not my problem?
I have a friend who is like a prodigy at piano tiles on the iPhone.
I wish Australia had a series!!!!
Awesome video!
Yo it would be sick if you could show us around and the lights and siren on the new police cars you guys got???
you guys should make more ride along videos because then the world can see what you are doing
3:20 Tell me that isn't the Final Fantasy 7 sleep theme bro 😂 You play Johnny?
Jonny, MCU or DCEU? ^.^
MCU - Constable Hurn.
😂😂😂😂 He's flying
How many hours of paperwork do you do after a shift or during ? Like do you actually have time to spend with family and etc
Yeah it's busy sometimes and overtime is certainly a part of some days but with a rolling roster and a good lot of time off I feel well rested and ready to go by the time I'm due back. It can be tough working shifts to spend time with people who don't. Holidays, weekends, public events, all that time most people have off we often don't so somethings you miss out on.

Are the cars manual or automatic
Nice vlog jono!
First 😂😂 love this stuff eeeeekkk
Your videos are so cool!
This is like POLICE Ten 7
What sort of jobs dose the police led to?
What do u want to accomplish in the police?
Can you please answer this question:
If you are on your restricted then can you drive family members around (parents and siblings only)?
Thank you for answering my question. ❤️❤️
Actually Hardeep on your restricted you can drive some kinds of family members, your Spouse or your dependent child (aka a child you legally have day to day care of) without a supervisor.
For parents or siblings or other relatives you will need to get a supervisor or a full license. - Constable Hurn.
Nothing beats a nana nap, do it all the time as required
Hell yes. Learn from the best (cats and dogs haha)
When you are off duty are you aloud to arrest anyone
Not unless you consider 'Citizens arrest'
You should do response Videos of you getting to scenes, etc.
I love your Volvo car lol! Recognise the sound and head rest
Can you talk about the relationship with you and your
colleagues? Do you socialise after hours with your team, or limit that to keep it strictly profesh due to the critical nature of your role, is there a hierarchy or is the mutual respect pretty good? Thanks for the awesome vlogs, I really enjoy them 😊
