Sitting in the car, Lao Wang was combing the strong man's hair and asked strangely: "Sheriff, why do you think I was recruited for this task force?"
Sheriffs like Lao Wang are strictly speaking non-staff.
The New Zealand police cannot become a half-way monk. You must first become a police candidate. Regardless of your subject background or previous occupation, candidates must start from scratch and undergo basic training at the Royal New Zealand Police College.
Only those who pass the training results will be admitted to the police station. If they fail, they will be eliminated midway.
Lao Wang had no professional studies. The main reason why he became the chief of Sunset Town was because when the town was first established, the government didn't take it seriously and no one was willing to come here to be a police officer.
Although New Zealand's police force is on a hiring basis, it is not much different from an iron job. As long as you don't make a big mistake, you won't be fired.
However, one thing that is very important for police officers is to integrate into the circle. If they are isolated from their colleagues, this job will not be possible at all.
The best way to integrate into the circle is to enter the environment as soon as you debut, rather than joining in the middle. This is why no one wanted to come to Sunset Town in the beginning.
At that time, Sunset Town showed no signs of development and was likely to go bankrupt midway. New Zealand township governments allow bankruptcy. For example, Tahiti Town is now on the verge of bankruptcy.
If Sunset Town goes bankrupt, the police officers will have to be randomly assigned to other local police stations. Firstly, the place they are assigned may not meet expectations. Secondly, being assigned to a police station in this way makes it difficult to break into other people's circles.
Chief Smith, who was in the passenger seat, said: "Because we are short of people this time, any police officer who can do something must be organized."
Lao Wang: “…”
Seeing the change in his expression in the rearview mirror, the police chief laughed, and then said: "Okay, man, I won't tease you anymore. This time I recommend you to join the task force."
"First of all, this case is related to the ranch. You are one of the few police officers who runs a farm part-time."
"Secondly, we need ethnic diversity in the police force. You know in New Zealand, if a Maori police officer goes to handle cases in the Chinese community, even if he can speak fluent Mandarin, if he encounters a case involving sex like a rape case, , then he won’t fully get the information he needs.”
"We don't know what kind of people this case is going to deal with, so we need to try our best to get better support from local people, including whites, blacks, Maori, Chinese, Asians, etc."
Lao Wang shrugged: "Thank you, man. I'm very happy to be able to participate in such a case."
Indeed, handling such cases can win the trust of colleagues. The task force is one of the best ways to close relationships within the police station. What is even better is to train together as classmates at the Royal Police Academy.
The two police cars were speeding along. The journey was far away. Lao Wang was looking forward to his helicopter. If there were planes, he wouldn't have to drive so hard on the road.
The Dunedin Police Station is in the city, not far from the train station. Lao Wang has been to this city several times, but has never been to the train station. This time he went on a business trip.
This railway station was opened in 1906. It is a huge ancient building. Anyone who comes to the city will not miss this place. Lao Wang also took a photo after getting off the train.
While Sheriff Smith was parking the car, he looked at the train station in the distance. This building was grand, spectacular and magnificent. Its vast mosaic tile floor and delicate stained glass windows made it full of charm.
Dunedin's architecture is dominated by Scottish style and is known as the most Scottish-like city outside of Scotland. This can be seen from the train station, which uses the Franconian Renaissance style, with the main body being Kokonga basalt, and then Using Oamaru limestone as the decorative surface, combined with a variety of shapes, textures and materials, it has remained unchanged even after hundreds of years of vicissitudes.
Sheriff Smith waved to him and said, "First time?"
Lao Wang shook his head and said: "I have been here several times, and this is the first time I see this train station."
Sheriff Smith pointed to the rolling mountains behind and said, "Then you must have never seen Larnach Castle? If you have a chance, go and take a look. Although you own a castle, the styles of the two are different."
Wang Bo is indeed somewhat interested in this castle. There are currently only two castles in New Zealand, one is his Sunset City and the other is Larnach Castle.
But now was not the time to go out for fun. He straightened his police uniform and followed Smith into the police station.
The Dunedin Police Station is a Scottish-style building surrounded by flat grass and police cars parked on the grass. If you ignore these cars and the police officers coming and going, this building will not have anything to do with the police.
Compared with the Aocheng Police Station, the atmosphere here is more solemn and intense. The police officers walked in and out quickly, and people talked very fast. Wang Bo even saw someone carrying a gun!
Chief Smith knew that he had never joined the task force or dealt with AOS, so he explained to him along the way:
"The ones carrying the guns are all our colleagues, members of the AOS team who are responsible for providing us with tactical support this time."
"The ones with white edges on their shoulders are community police officers, who are responsible for mediating community problems, such as traffic, disturbing residents, quarrels, disputes, etc."
"These are plainclothes people. They are directly under the management of CIB, and they are also our cooperation partners this time. However, I guess their attitude is not very good. They were mainly responsible for the case before."
"Those are people from the police department. They are young guys like you. They are driven and responsible. I like guys like this. They want to enter the criminal investigation department, so they work harder than other police officers."
Just like China has ordinary civilian police and criminal police, the New Zealand police station is divided into the Police Department and the Criminal Investigation Department. The Police Department is responsible for traffic and trivial matters, while the Criminal Investigation Department is responsible for serious and important cases.
Newly graduated police officers, without exception, will first be assigned to local police stations, starting with the uniformed police department.
After working for three or four years, if you perform well and pass a series of studies and examinations, you can become a plainclothes policeman and accept the leadership of the CIB. After a plainclothes policeman has accumulated a certain amount of work experience and still performs well, he can be sent to the Police Academy for special training, and finally enter the Criminal Investigation Department.
Chief Smith led him upstairs while introducing him. Police stations in big cities are different. Someone immediately stopped them and asked, "Hello, who are you?"
A loud voice sounded from the top of the stairs: "Cole, let them come up. This is Sheriff Smith from O City. They are members of the task force who are here to help us."
Wang Bo looked up and saw a very strong white police inspector looking down at them. Maybe because of his position, he was a little unhappy with the police inspector.
