The New Zealand Police hosted ethnic media professionals from wider Auckland in a two day media briefing in capital city Wellington.<\/p>\n

Around 22 top ethnic media professionals and personalities spent two days with high ranking police team on 8th June 2022 and 9th June 2022.<\/p>\n

The media team was led by NZ Police Ethnic Media Coordinator Jessica Phuang who has worked hard to coordinate this ethnic media get together and host it in Wellington.<\/p>\n

According to Jessica, this media tour was very well overdue as the ethnic media team needed to fully understand the operations of New Zealand Police so that their observations could then be conveyed to masses, listeners, readers, viewers and general community through respective media platforms.<\/p>\n

On the opening day of the tour, the media team were welcomed at the National Police College in Porirua where the Deputy Commissioner of Police Mr Wallace Haumaha addressed the crowd and emphasized on the difficulties the police force face while working to combat crime and he also encouraged people to join the force if they have intentions to work in the department. As far as requirements to become a police officer are concerned, those are very relaxed as you do not require a degree or high level university education.<\/p>\n

Assistant Police Commissioner Mr Chris de Wattiganar also spoke to the ethnic media team and said how important it is for police to work with ethnic communities to further educate members of the ethnic community as well as community at large.<\/p>\n

Superintendent Rakesh Naidoo, the Head of New Zealand Police Ethnic Squad was over joyed with the turnout which came to Wellington as he has worked really hard since his appointment to establish a ethnic wing at New Zealand Police and bring ethnic communities together.<\/p>\n

The recruiting head of the Police Department Mr Vinesh Sima with his team focused on the recruitment process of the force and briefed in detail about how people can join the police department.<\/p>\n

Media and Communications National Manager Juli Clausen also shared the operational side with ethnic media and informed about how their team works around the clock to keep over 200 media outlets in New Zealand updated with stories relating to Police.<\/p>\n

Clausen also talked about police protocols they have to follow during major incidents or serious cases.<\/p>\n

Media personalities from Auckland enjoyed their first ever official tour of National Police College and National Police Headquarters in Wellington which they said was a great experience as they have learnt lots through the multiple briefings during the two day trip to Wellington.<\/p>\n

However, a request was made by the ethnic media team that their community needed police awareness and campaigns on their platforms as mostly New Zealand Police is doing their branding and campaigns on the main stream media and ethnic community is unaware about these things which could have enlightened them.<\/p>\n

It was also requested by the ethnic media team that the police branding and campaigns department should directly deal with the ethnic media team and not with advertising agencies which needs to be balanced between all media of New Zealand as currently advertising agencies are only using few ethnic platforms, as every ethnic media outlet has its own loyal listeners, viewers and readers.<\/p>\n

The two day media tour was fully funded by New Zealand Police.<\/p>\n
