Ruddy Eagle copter thingy

[madboy]

Harry, the dog handlers can sometimes be pretty busy. I'm surprised they stopped to even say anything apart from get inside!! I got busted by a delta unit a few years ago while practising some drifting (and then I did a runner but his mate got me down the road), then delta catches up, was just starting the lecture when he got called to another job so had to disappear. Forgot to give me a ticket. Bugger.

I can imagine the choppers would probably be a lot like the dog handlers. You get called to an incident, you could well be miles away, and by the time you get there the incident could be all over! It's almost funny to hear the poor delta units around here (no choppers thank God), they get called from the city to wainui, get almost there, then get stood down, then get called to Upper Hutt, then get stood down halfway there, then get called to Porirua, then get stood down... poor guy probably spends half his shift trying to get to a single job!!

Must suck down in Wellington!

Quite often I have been roaming around in the bush at night and come across a Delta, not doing anything in particular. Often on a hot day they'll take the dog to the beach and wait for a job.

The ammusing thing was, each time I hav encounted a Delta unit the handler has never been friendly or what you'd call a "Good Communicator". A while back I watched a documentry about Delta units in New Zealand and they were exactly the same. It must be the type of people they choose, quiet, very alert and very concious of their environment.

Interesting species of police!

I have a nice Delta Unit living right at the end of my street...

The last dog was cool but now fully retired and living there as a pet...
He wont let anyone knew his new beast not even his own family, but only him.
Apparently he is doing a grand job catching the crims...

I bet those dogs love the sirens on the vans... whenever they're on, they're gonna get a run Either that, or leftover donuts

Yeah I know a few cops and I take my hat off to them for doing a sometimes thankless job. The only thing I was really wondering was, could he have not just quickly said when he was leaving" they have been spotted down the road". My wife was pretty freaked not knowing if someone might still be hiding near one of the buildings. But yeah i understand that every second counts when your tracking someone.

Anyway didn't see any copters today.
