Latest Graduation Tsubasa ‘I did my homework’

The 358th Wing’s 58 recruits have been certified as constables and will graduate from their first training tomorrow (Thursday, September 22nd). They will start in his district on Monday, October 3rd.

Wing members are stationed in all New Zealand police districts.

Police Minister Chris Hipkins, Wing Patron Stacey Shortall and Commissioner Andrew Coster will attend the ceremony.

More than half of the wings have a bachelor’s, graduate or other advanced qualification. Alongside diverse ethnicities, languages, and life experiences, we have a wide range of educational backgrounds.

Among the alumni is First Wing Recruit George Littlejohn. He has had a successful career in the New Zealand Army and has served his country all his life. “The police recruitment process takes time, but it’s worth it! 16 weeks in college gave me the companionship and memories of a lifetime. I can’t wait to go home and serve my community.” George will be deployed in the Wellington area.

The Leadership Award goes to recruits Matthew Rayner – Nga Puhi, Ngāti Wharara (hapū), Ngāti Whatua and Te Uri o Hau (hapū). Matthew said: The barriers to achieving this for many Whanau are family harm and a driving force of crime. By donning the blue uniform and helping remove some of these barriers, I feel like I’ve helped some people achieve their own Tino Rangatiratanga. Placed in the central district.

Recruit Tufanga Dawson was born and raised in Rotorua. “I grew up speaking only Te Leo Māori and attended Kohanga Leo and Kula Kaupa Māori throughout my schooling. I started learning English when I was eight years old. He is a big reason why I decided to start my police career.” Tawhanga will be deployed in the Bay of Plenty area.

Recruiter Bridget Kiddle excels in stamina, team spirit and hard work. “My background in competitive sports is what led me to the police force. I played for the Black Sticks women’s hockey team in 2016 and then the English Women’s Premier Hockey League. My core nature excites me to wear blue,” she says.
