We will be giving guidance and training to assist them with this decision."

Description: A ship named 'Police resources' sinks into the sea while the Minister of Police shouts from a dinghy that the band should play on but the deckchairs could be moved about a bit. A newspaper floating in the sea reads 'Change to current police policies after horrific machete attack could be fewer cars and patrols'. Context; Senior Constable Bruce Mellor, of Waiouru, was attacked from behind with a machete by two teenagers just north of Taihape during a routine traffic stop, as he returned to his patrol car to check the driver's details. This has instigated Police Minister Judith Collins to say that risk assessments need to be done on solo police patrols and fuels the debate about the arming of police. She also said 'I don't think the public's going to be safer if we get rid of single-person stations because of a requirement to double-crew'. The implication of this suggested by the cartoon is fewer cars and patrols because of resource constraints. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
