<p>I just love the "why didn't they shoot him in the leg or something" comments that appear on social media after these sorts of things.<br><br>
In regards to the first shooting, I always enjoy it when the scummy partners come out (like the recent one in Paeroa)and say that they were unarmed, or shot in the back and it gets tonnes of media coverage, but the post mortem results showing gunshot wounds to the chest of the offender barely get a mention. You would think if the AOS were there in the first place, the guy wasn't a "gentle giant" as suggested by his family, and if they were the ones who shot him, he was probably holding a gun...</p>

<p>Yep, you can just picture the media spin trying to paint the cops badly.....</p>

Yup, can't wait for the "he was just a good guy who donated his spare time to charity but fell on hard times" article to come out

<p>He wasn't killed, fortunately he was tased and pepper sprayed before being shot twice though.<br><br>
Is there a givealittle page up yet so I can chip in to shout the cops beers? That sounds like thirsty work.</p>

Yeah the gratuities book generally stops all that stuff. Though some of the VIP protection boys got to keep gold rolexes gifted to them by the sultan of Brunei a few years back after some robust discussion. <br><br>
Generally it's time/place/circumstance. An old lady taking some baking into the local station to thank the team for catching a burglar might be looked upon more fondly than someone buying the team a box of piss after they shot a scrote (though it shouldn't be). Accepting alcohol was apparently an absolute no-no. <br><br>
We used to get offered gifts all the time in the CIB, where you often have ongoing interactions with your victims throughout the court process. Unfortunately all had to be turned down, given its not worth a potential code of conduct hearing for a bottle of whiskey, or someone's eldest daughter's hand in marriage (both of which I was offered at one time or another) -

<p>"Thanks for catching my daughters rapist officer, as a token of my gratitude I'd like to buy you a case of whatever you drink......"</p>

<p>"Sorry sir, not allowed to accept gratuities like that....."</p>

<p>That's absolute fucken bullshit in my eyes, I always got free piss from clients ( which I readily accepted ) when I worked in advertising and no way did I deserve it as much as the boys in blue. My mate and his wife run a small agency and naively brought Xmas booze for Government clients they had without knowing it was a no-no. Needless to say we all got invited round for a few drinking sessions to finish it all off.</p> -

The cops do have some decent perks they fully deserve though.</p></blockquote>
<br>
What perks are they? Technically we aren't even allowed to accept discounted McDonald's in case it leads to corruption. -
I built some holiday units for the psa a while back and the caretaker said that they had a tie up with the police and firefighters union do the members could stay in each other's holiday accomodation. He showed me a bunch of units on the beach front at the other end of town that were owned by the police . <br>
I don't begrudge you guys having reasonably priced places to chill out at nice spots around the country if that's what you were thinking, -
<p>I got on the piss with the cops in Tauranga a few times, and had my 21st at the bar on top of the cop shop. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Massive nights up there, fuck those blokes could drink. </p> -

<br><p>Also slapping around ferals with an old copy of the yellow pages till you get rsi is on my bucket list if you ever need a break pm me.<br><br>
Having access to the uniform and handcuffs is pretty cool too, no lady has ever said me in the heat of passion " it'd really turn me on if you put on your stained high viz polar fleece and built me a pergola " so there's that .</p> -
Jegga I wsan't thinking you were begrudging, I was genuinely curious what perks you were referring to. Holidays homes is a fair enough example, but it sounds like NZ police have more accommodation options than Qld. The options over here are shit. <br><br>
Re the handcuffs - not as sexy as you would think. When you see who we use the handcuffs on at work, and how often they get covered in blood, using them at home is the last thing you want to do! -
<p>I remember at our induction the Officer running it asked if anyone had any questions. One of the younger blokes asked why there was no discounted Maccas anymore.....</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So after an awkward silence from the humourless Inspector we all wisely kept our traps shut. You've gotta pick your audience, that kinda quip would have gone down well with certain big cheeses......not that one.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I don't think Police get any perks worth mentioning. A half price sale once a year at Harvey Norman is all I can think of.</p> -

Does Khatmandu include the police in their deal? I know doc workers and firefighters are in that one . -

<p>When I worked at KFC any cops that came through got extra everything in thier orders, and at the end of a night shift, we'd call up the cops and say thier order was ready for pick up.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I did get off a licence breach at about 11pm one night on my way home, wasnt sure if it was my natural charm or the fact I still had my KFC uniform on....probably neither, but not being a knob to cops is always a good starting point I found.</p>
