SEPERATING POLICE AND TRAFFIC FUNCTIONS
REVERSE THE POLICE AND TRANSPORT AMALGAMATION OF 1992.
FOR YEARS NOW I HAVE BEEN USING THE PRINT MEDIA TO ADVOCATE FOR A RETURN TO THE PRE AMALGAMATION ERA WHERE POLICING AND TRAFFIC CONTROL HAD THEIR SEPERATE MINISTRIES. SOME WOULD SAY I HAVE BEEN ALMOST OBSESSIVE IN THAT REGARD, ESPECIALLY POLITICIANS WHO KNOW THAT A RE-SEPERATION IS WHAT IS REQUIRED BUT DONT WANT TO DO THE WORK OR EXPEND THE FINANCE ON IT. WELL BLOW ME DOWN!!! OUT OF THE BLUE, TODAY I FIND THAT THE AIRWAVES ARE ALIVE WITH THIS VERY SUBJECT AND THE MAJORITY OF OPINION SEEMS TO BE IN FAVOUR OF A RE-SEPERATION!!! IF OUR POLITICIANS HAVE EVEN A MODERCUM OF UNDERSTANDING OF THE PSYCHOLOGY OF POLICING, SOME ORDER IS ABOUT TO BE RESTORED IN THE UNIVERSE OF POLICING. IF POLITICIANS DO NOT HAVE THAT UNDERSTANDING, THEY WILL FIND WAYS AND COMMISSIONS TO AVOID DOING THE NECESSARY. LET US KEEP OUR FINGERS CROSSED AND HOPE FOR THE MIRACLE OF UNDERSTANDING.

Suddenly one goes from feeling somewhat like a lone voice in the wilderness,to knowing that I have been in the vanguard of change.
Othere are writing to the papers on this subject and as a recent subject on Radio Live a couple of days ago, callers seemed to be unanamous for a return to the pre-1992 status quo.
Police Association President Greg O'Connor just this past week has again conceeded the damage done by the original amalgamation of police and traffic in 1992. He fears that it is too late to, as he put it, "unscramble the egg" but I believe that he is wrong and the egg can be 'unscrambled' to the benefit of NZ society in general if the public demands that change from its politicians.
We know who you are,
We know who you are, denthepen, AND where you live!

'They seek him here. They seek him there. They seek that dastardly denthepen everywhere!!
I'm not too worried about those politicians-they all live in stone houses and throw glasses!
Hate to get a real taser police ill-will though!!!
