It seems in the time I have been writing these blogs the same subjects keep coming up here in New Zealand.
Over the last two nights it is back to arming the NZ polic again.
But it all comes back to having the resources & the training.
In previous posts I have talked about the mindset of the NZ Security Industry & the police not being ready for real security. It is not just about the training but the mindset which the NZ police would acquire if they were required to carry firearms at all times.
What I didn't realize though, until one of the reports highlighted it, was the total bureaucratic mess the police have to go through to arm themselves with the weapons they may have in the vehicle. It shows a mindset that hasn't faced the reality of the crime now on New Zealand streets.
In the Gravest Extreme: The Role of the Firearm in Personal Protection
It is only in the last few months that there has been a more general acceptance that more security need body amour. In the main though the NZ security industry refuses to see how it needs body armour or arming itself.
If the NZ Police are doing it or thinking of doing it then security should be doing it.
Why because it is often a security guard that arrive at these incidents prior to police alone. Then after an incident if someone is required it again is security that is called upon, usually again a lone guard.
Terrorism Financing and State Responses: A Comparative Perspective
Mean while here in NZ the wheel goes round & round & round!
This weekend it will be out of control drunks or another high speed police chase resulting in death where the police are blamed for an idiot running from them or another policeman facing an armed criminal without the ability to protect themselves.
