| 1381287 | 2014-08-09 13:26:00 | I have became interested in knowing what our emergency services like police , ambulance , fire for how busy they are in their job . It is hard to say which one is the most busiest but almost every time I'm on the road or in the building I see or hear a police or ambulance rushing through or just going with traffic with siren on or off. I say to myself I wish I could hear them speak somehow . Some things I have done and still do is watch tv shows like police ten 7 , highway cops , rapid response and download app on iPod touch and android police scanner . So far only tauranga police and fire are on the app but half the time I just can not listen plus I know that NZ police have gone digital so I just can not listen them so I listen to other countries . So I wanted to post a question in here and would like people to comment what they think . The first question is Do you think NZ police is high on technology meaning they have got gadgets in their cars and carrying with them is same as or less than other countries cause when I look at other countries police cars looks cool with gadgets and also police carrying gadgets with them . | AppleFan (17097) | ||
| 1381288 | 2014-08-10 00:38:00 | nz emergency services are under funded and way behind technology wise. sometimes thats a good thing as the can sit back and see what technology works and is reliable before buying them. but even then they don't want to pay. ran into an IT guy who said they don't even quote jobs for them now, they always want it 1/3 the price its worth. the police had a crappy budget digital camera, and one between a bunch of staff, which they left behind at the station and had to get someone to bring it to the scene! also remember that the bulk of emergency services are amateur with little training and i dare say some poor quality training at times (its not a SOP to read a map before going on a call out?). the amount of time i wish i could reach down the phone and strangle that **** operator who asks "fire, ambo or police?". **** i don't know! i don't care, send them all i'm about to die ***! its truly amazing that they can do so well when they are so heavily handicapped by the politicians. |
