<p>Yeah I think they start at about 110k, but when you think of how long you have to be in to get there, and how many staff they normally have under them, it doesn't really compare to the private sector. Plus all the fun stuff in the job is done at Sergeant level and below...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>That's the problem the Police will always face in recruiting older candidates is that there is only so far that the love of the job, and fulfilling long term dream will take you.<strong> I know of guys who basically halved their pay packets to join in their mid 30's</strong> but they normally are the exception rather than the norm and can afford to because of partners who earn high salaries or minimal mortgage etc.</p>

<p>That's more or less what I did in Comms, ex and I did it pretty tough financially for a bit when that happened.....</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I worked with one bloke who I was told went straight from probabtionary Constable to Inspector cos of a law background ? bear in mind this convo occurred at about 6.15am at the start of a shift so I may have that slightly wrong. I kept telling myself that could have been me if I had joined in my early 20s.</p> -
There was a story on tv last night about the guy shot in Hamilton , his mrs was not credible, they also downplayed his involvement in p. They also bought up the shoot to wound rather than kill bullshit a little bit too. I find it hard to believe that the police rock up with guns to a law abiding citizens house and shoot him in cold blood, did I mention he had a loaded sawn off shotgun in his hands when they shot him?

See how pimply his mrs was? Sure sign of P use<br>
Yeah I'll take the word of a P user of the NZ Police any day of the week -
God awful that show. My brother and his mrs insisted on watching it. That whole narrative of the innocent family man brutally shot down in cold blood by the fascist police was stomach turning. Sure tell the p-heads side of the story but at least ask the odd balanced question..like why did he have a fucken loaded shotgun? I'm fairly certain he hadn't just been out hunting pheasant.

That was my first thought when I saw her too. -

This is at odds with pretty much everything on last nights show. -
Yeah funny how the interview kept out a little bit of information like how his p addiction (no doubt shared with his wonderful upstanding member of society gf) drove a once successful business into the ground.<br>
But I'm guessing if that came up she would deflect blame and say it wasn't his fault -

I wonder what the response to last night show has been in the wider feral community?</p></blockquote>

Probably split into 2 camps. Those glad to see the back of him and the goings on at that address, and those who will just grow to hate the local cops even more. -
<p>I watched some of it, got fucked off at the narrative and switched channels. Little wonder the police refused to take any part in that. What a joke. Showing pictures of the P-addict in his younger years and saying he was such a "loving man". Yeah, right...</p>
