Policing has to be one of the most dynamic environments in which to work, as shown by the variety of news stories and talkback and social media…

In this issue of Police News, officers living with the consequences of having taken a life in the line of duty tell their side of the story.

As 2017 draws to a close, it is interesting to note that the year is book-ended with good news on the policing staff front.

This month's Police News is, not surprisingly, very much focused on the October annual conference.

In late August, I had the pleasure of attending the Police Sport Winter Games, sponsored by the Association, in Rotorua.

We are only a couple of weeks from the 2017 election and it is game on.
