Ever since I was a young child, I have always aspired to be a Police Officer. I saw how much mana and whakaute they carry and knew following in their footsteps would make myself and my whanau very proud.
I have been lucky enough to have recently begun the recruitment process with the NZ Police, which puts me on step closer to my dream job.
Due to this, I will be exploring and investigating the career pathway of a Police Officer for my Rangahau. This will include:
What is required from an individual before becoming a Police Officer
How Police Officers ensure they are following the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi
How legislations at both a local and national level relate to Police Officers
A reflection on where I am within this process currently
