Chris Roberts Police Detective
On Monday afternoon, Chris Roberts came in to talk about his interesting job as a detective in the Organised Crime Unit. Chris told us that there was never a day like another. One day he would be at the computer, doing paperwork and taking evidence to court, the next you might be investigating a grusome crime scene.
To get into this job, you have to be a calm, open minded, hardworking and a little bit nosy.
It also helps if you are good at P.E, Maths and English.
To become a Police Officer Chris had to have a NZ Drivers license, be fit and a citizen of NZ or Australia, and spend 2 years at the Royal NZ Police college in Porirua.
With the pay of 40-50k, for your first year constantly rising, it is a job to look forward to.
