Some years ago a local Canine Officer lost his partner to anti-freeze some scumbag purposely placed. That 'person' was never caught.

A coward is a coward is a coward.

RIP Gage

I hate to say this... but what a joke!!! Police without guns?? Whatever government body in NZ mandated that ought to be fired and replaced with realistic people who care about their protectors. Too bad for the dog and the officers. CRAZY!!!

The officer did have a gun in his police car but chose not to take it as he had his dog . Gage died saving his partner .
A NZ Police Dog is part of the NZ Police force so charges there will be pending shooting and killing a NZPD member . Its the 23rd dog to die on duty here .

Some NZ police are armed but not all. They have what is called 'The Armed Defender's' squad which is the full ticket! The point is I guess that it becomes what you are used to and whilst I do not have data to back this up, I think that there would be a smaller number of weapon (firearm) related crimes etc per capita than a lot of other countries. NZ only has a population of just over 4 million. I lived there for 33 years and when I moved to Australia where police do carry, well it still makes me do a double take when I see a holster on them! Anywhoo....I stand by my original comment that I hope who is responsible for this rots in ****.
