Attacks on Police!

Kia Ora,

The last week has shown a disturbing trend. Two, what amounted to gang attacks on police officers. Where is our society going too & yet again I say it. When will NZ wake up.

This is exactly the sort of thing I envisaged when we confronted those ten youths a few weeks back who were carrying iron bars.

Over this last week I have noticed a propensity when you challenge young people their first instinct is to want to fight where as in the past you would of being given your pedigree.

It is also frightening as too how many in the security industry just still have their head in the samd.

During a task over this week, I reported certain people camping up near by drinking & was told to ignore them.

Now if this person had being doing their OSH Assessment then they should of, as I did, looked at worst case scenario. They were there to look for an opportunity to cause trouble.

In fact that is what you could see they were looking for. Unfortunately for them they left before the opportunity arrived which it duly did. In fact several incidents did, one that had potentially another even more dangerous outcome.

So why is it the police & security industry still continue to breach OSH by operating alone instead of at least in pairs.
