"In regards to your question as to what I most like about my job, well that is a hard question to answer as there is not just one thing, there are many, including:"
I have kindly asked a current police officer who has been in the New Zealand Police Force for 14 years and here are his replies...
Detective Inspector Donaldson's Reply:
"Work variety: Not every day is the same and quite often I never know what I will be doing from one day to another. Not only this, but the actual jobs I deal with on a daily basis are always different and no two jobs are the same. This as you can image makes me have to think of different ways and approaches to investigating or resolving the incidents.
- Investigating: I enjoy the investigation (researching, examining and probing) into the enquires or offences. All work done needs to be done to high level and attention to details is crucial.
- Working as part of a team: Like everything, the people you work with are important and I find although there is a wide range people within the Police force we all tend to share similar ethics and goals. Without a doubt the people I work with make the sometime tuff jobs seem easier. Helping people in need and making a difference: It may sound like a cliché, but I get a lot of satisfaction out of knowing I am helping and in some cases making a real difference.
- The list of things I most like about my job could go on, as there are so many."
