FAREWELL BRIAN HARTLEY
Retired Police Superintendent Brian Hartley left us suddenly, aged 84, on 14 August 2022. The team here at the Police Managers' Guild Trust would like to extend our most sincere condolences to Brian's Family, Friends, Colleagues and anyone lucky enough to have known him.
Brian was the Driving Force behind the formation of the PMGT in 1997, a Trustee since the PMGT was formed and was elected a Life Member in 2019.
Under his careful and diligent guidance, the PMGT has donated over $3,500,000 to the victims of crime and produced education to benefit millions of Kiwis.
Brian's extraordinary example and legacy is one that will further motivate us to stop crime and save lives.
SUPPORTER SHOWCASE

GUILD NEWS
The New Zealand Police Managers’ Guild Trust are proud to have helped the NZ Fiji Schools Rugby Sevens in reaching their financial goals to allow young Fijian boys from across the country to come together and play a game that they love whilst honouring their heritage.
Whilst Fiji did not win (NZ Condors won both boys & girls competitions), the NZ Fijians never gave up, scoring the last try of the match through Ratu Kuli Naleisomosomo within the last minute. We are convinced there is an abundance of future Fijian stars with the team.
The boys blasted out a note or two at the powhiri for the team which was an exceptional event in itself and the team are now taking the opportunity to review what they did well, what could have been done better, and are planning to win the title in the next edition of the World School 7’s in December 2022. We have every confidence that the boys will do an astounding job.
‘’I therefore wanted to pass on our thanks and appreciation for the part you and the NZ Police Managers Guild Trust played in helping us. What we did would not have been possible without your very kind support. Again a big Vinaka vakalevu from our entire NZ Fiji Schools 7’s squad’’ - Inspector Jim Wilson.

COMMUNITY GRANTS
Our latest community grant, Blake Paynter was the recipient of our NZPMGT grant to assist him with advancing in the sport of rowing with a view of gaining a scholarship to study in the United States.
In March 2021, Blake was titled the 6th fastest under-18 single scull rower in New Zealand. Following that, his rowing times and on-water speeds are alongside the fastest junior rowers in New Zealand.
As of 19th January 2022, Blake was able to commence study at the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Daytona Beach, Florida USA. He has received an athletic scholarship to be a part of a rowing team and is lined up to be in the stroke seat of their top eight.
We also congratulate Blake on maintaining a high standard in his academic school work and scoring in the top 7% in his SATs. This means he has also been awarded an academic scholarship from the university and has selected to study Business for a 4-year degree.
‘’The journey to achieve this has been filled with hard work, perseverance, and cannot be achieved without the support of many people including the kind support from the New Zealand Police Managers Guild Trust. Our family would like to express that we are very thankful for the support you have given Blake and hope you can feel the same level of proudness that we feel as parents of him. When he is racing, you can feel that you are in the boat with him and part of the team.’’ - Marc Paynter and family.
Your donations help us to continue to offer practical help to people and families wishing to reach their goals.

New Zealand has the highest rate of intimate partner violence against women in the OECD.
One in three women here has experienced physical, sexual or coercive violence from an intimate partner in her lifetime; the rates are higher for Māori women, New Zealand born non-white women and migrant women.
Five years ago, the MeToo movement exploded and sparked global mobilization creating a moment in preventing and responding to violence against women and girls.
Since then, unprecedented awareness and momentum have been created thanks to women’s human rights defenders and survivor advocates worldwide.
At the same time, there has been a rise in anti-rights movements, including anti-feminist groups, resulting in shrinking space for civil society, a backlash against women’s rights organizations and a rise in attacks against women human rights defenders and activists globally.
Supporting and investing in strong, autonomous women’s rights organizations and feminist movements is key to ending violence against women and girls.
That is why this 2022 theme is UNITE! Activism to End Violence against Women & Girls.

A woman became pregnant while taking #Epilim, a medicine used to treat bipolar disorder and seizures.
The drug is known to cause complications at birth and throughout development, but her psychiatrist gave no warning despite her previous child suffering from a postpartum haemorrhage.
Deputy Commissioner Rose Wall said the incident highlighted the importance of informed consent.
The patient also received incorrect information from an obstetrician, who told her the drug was safe during #pregnancy.
The deputy commissioner recommended that health organisations circulate clearer information about Epilim and similar drugs, particularly for those who plan to have children.
The number of pregnant women given Epilim prescriptions has dropped significantly over the past decade - but the job isn't done.

Still, no right to sue.
A Well known issue. Not sure why on police pages. Anyone taking medications planning pregnancy and discussions re meds with Drs and midwives so important. Sad story. Is this a NZ story?
Alleged crimes by children in #Christchurch are at their highest levels in almost a decade, as shopkeepers say there’s nothing stopping kids from offending.
Proceedings against offenders aged between 10 and 14 in the city have surged this year.
Between 2017 and 2021 numbers fluctuated between 6 and 45 a month, but surged to 84 in August this year, according to data from police.
Children in Christchurch are executing ram raids, shoplifting and knocking cyclists over using stolen vehicles.
The reasons behind the offending are complex. The increased cost of living, impacts of the pandemic, children not being at school and unstable homes are all factors, Children’s Commissioner Frances Eivers said.
Children under 10 years old cannot be held criminally responsible in New Zealand; 10 and 11-year-olds can only be prosecuted for murder or manslaughter, and 12 and 13-year-olds only for murder, manslaughter, and other specific serious offences where the maximum penalty is life imprisonment or at least 14 years. Offences with a maximum penalty of 14 years imprisonment include serious violent and sexual offences, arson, and aggravated robbery and aggravated burglary.
“Interactions with these young people indicate that the vast majority have been involved in some form of #familyharm and it is almost certain many have been exposed to violence from a young age, as either victims or witnesses.”

New Zealand Police has released its annual report, which covers the year from June 2021 to June 2022.
It detailed that for every 10,000 people in New Zealand, 603 had been victims of crime in the last year, equating to about 6 percent.
That was up slightly from the previous year - when 558 people per 10,000 were victims of crime.
Police also attended almost 10,000 more emergency events than previously, and 111 calls increased by just over 40,000, the report said.
In addition, they attended 73,006 events involving a person having a mental health crisis, in distress, or threatening suicide, which was an increase of 55 percent in the last five years.
Yet family harm remains the police's single-largest demand, with such an event being attended every three minutes, on average.
Assault on a person in a family relationship now represents around 66 percent of reported serious assaults and family harm calls for service are increasing at greater rates than others.
In the last year, police investigated 175,573 reported family harm incidents - an increase of about 10,000.

Bloody disgusting. Nz is becoming a haven for thugs. Crims and murderers. This government is letting it go on . The police do their job and the smart ar# lawyers and judges even give discounts to offenders. Enough is enough.!!!!!
I suppose it could get annoying having to turn up at the same house 3 or 4 times a week when you've got other stuff to do.

After a disaster such as a major #earthquake, you might be without power and running tap water for several days – perhaps a week or more. It might not be possible to drive on roads. Supermarkets and general supplies stores could be closed too. That’s why everyone should have a home #emergencykit.
What’s in our home emergency kit (one person, 3 days) - Essentials.
- Drinking water. Store at least 9L (ideally 20L or more) per person.
- Water Purification. Aquatabs, one tablet treats 1L of unchlorinated water, making it safe to drink. Get more if you’re storing more than 50L water.
- Food. Store enough food for each person for at least three days (nine meals per person). Pre-cooked canned meals are a good choice – they’re cheap, don’t require heating or water to rehydrate, usually have a long shelf life, and don’t need refrigerating.
- Can opener
- Radio. Battery-powered radios and torches typically perform much better than wind-up ‘dynamo’ models.
- Torch. A second torch may be handy if you have four or more people at home. Headlamps are a good choice so you can keep your hands free. Don’t use candles.
- Batteries. Alkaline and lithium disposable batteries last much longer than carbon zinc models, both in use and in storage. Check what size you need for your torch and radio.
- First aid kit. You’ll want a kit with a range of wound dressings and some strong bandages.
- Painkillers
- Earplugs. Class 5 earplugs provide the greatest noise reduction. They’re useful to reduce the volume of ongoing alarms and sirens, and may help you sleep.
- Work gloves. These will help protect your hands, like when moving earthquake rubble and glass.
- Duct tape. Duct tape can provide a temporary fix for all manner of things.
Check your supplies every year. Drinking water, food, batteries and some first aid items expire, and situations can change. You’ll need to replace anything that’s expired and get more supplies if extra people or animals join your home, or if their needs change.

The Police Managers' Guild Trust provide New Zealanders with support and useful information that helps them to avoid becoming a victim of crime.What's the water tablet about..so if I buy bottled water & store it would I need to use a tablet b4 drinking it aye🤔
Many marine suppliers are good places for this sort of gear also as when they service life rafts most of the survival kit is still usable except the sea sickness tablets and a few other items. .
Looks complicated
No candles? That's the dumbest thing iv ever read. Candles are the best. No batteries and up to 7 hours burn time. Not to mention a 22lr and ammunition for food harvesting or a slingshot or bow with good arrows or a good dog and a sheild and axe for looters or corrupt government thugs.
Doubtful how many families would be able to afford the luxury of effectively buying an additional weeks food to tuck away so many will be reliant on simply what's in their pantry or fridge. Perhaps infants aside most adults can cope w/o much food for at least 3 days. Clean drinking water is always the big issue. Humans simply don't function w/o water so it's a case of whatever can be stored plus whatever is in your hot water cylinder and toilet cisterns.Might be worth while investing in a cheap propane camping cookers to boil water as well.
Always have your car petrol tank at least half full. The only petrol available in chch was Rolleston 3 days after feb 2011 quake.
Can’t even afford a first aid kit let alone food
The other good reason to try marine companies as they often have a full range of survival equipment and ropes chains shackles pullets winches etc as they provision Niwa scientist for Antarctica they also have a lot of wet weather gear. Flares radio equipment and they help the navy the coast guard and the ferry ⛴ services. . And they cater for commercial fisheries and yacht ⛵ how go on long voyage. So chemical toilet 🚽 and knives life jackets 🧥 and batteries etc
After the Chch earthquakes, we were very grateful to have our tramping kit ready - gas cooker, dehy food etc. Now we have 'earthquake water' stored, a list of essentials and a rendezvous if we can't get home. Also we are planning to install rainwater harvesting. It's not just quakes - we're increasingly experiencing adverse weather events as climate disruption ramps up, and this is just the start. easac.eu/press-releases/details/new-data-confirm-increased-frequency-of-extreme-weather-events-eu... Climate activists are trying to get people to take the crisis seriously, but most voters seem to care more about their next gas-guzzling flights or road-trips than their kids' future.
Any ideas on how to bring corrupt politicians to justice
Light candles and show solidarity with road traffic victims!
As every year, the objectives of World Remembrance Day for Road Traffic Victims 2022 are to provide a platform for road traffic victims and their families to:
- Remember all people killed and seriously injured on the roads;
- Acknowledge the crucial work of the emergency services;
- Promote evidence-based actions to prevent and eventually stop further road traffic deaths and injuries
On World Day we too pay tribute to the dedicated emergency crews, police and medical professionals, who deal daily with the traumatic aftermath of road crashes.
Every year, millions more road victims are added to the current toll of over 50 million killed and hundreds of millions injured since the first road death 125 years ago last August – a disaster that continues day in and day out in all countries of the world.
It is a pandemic, affecting primarily our vulnerable and our young, which in addition to the trauma of injury and bereavement has also a devastating economic impact for countries, communities and families.
On World Day we too pay tribute to the dedicated emergency crews, police and medical professionals, who deal daily with the traumatic aftermath of road crashes.
