These are NZ's most explosive streets. (SHOUTS INDISTINCTLY) (SHOUTS INDISTINCTLY) WOMAN: Crikey dickens. > For the more than 1500 female police officers, every day brings them face to face with danger. And I stabbed him in the head. You just really never know quite what's going to happen. ALL LAUGH ALL LAUGH Hey! Come on. Come on. I asked you to` Come on. I asked you to` And I moved. I moved. It's my job. We get assaulted, get punched in the face ` so be it. <BLEEP> you! (BARKS) These streets are tough,... Just walk away. ...so they need to be tougher. Hey! Police! Tonight on Women in Blue ` If you can't afford to pay the fines, what are you doing still driving the car? For what? < MAN: For fresh air. < MAN: For fresh air. For fresh air? < Yeah. Yeah, just trying to get a warrant. Yeah. < Yeah. Yeah, just trying to get a warrant. Yeah. WHISPERS: Oh my God. Come on, let's go. We don't wanna handcuff you, but if you're gonna make it difficult, then we'll put the handcuffs on you. And you smell like you've been smoking weed. This is serious. No! Get back! No! Get back! What are you doing, you idiot?! Get back. Get back. Stop being a idiot! Copyright Able 2014 Six years with the police, and Jacqui's still clocking the miles up to keep in shape. It was really hard work for me to get into Police College because I struggled with the 2.4 K run. Keeping that speed up for that time was quite hard. My husband, Daryl, the first day he came out for a run with me, he ran with me, and then the second day, he's, like, 'I'll get out on the bike, and I'll go ahead of you.' Fourth day, yeah, he was sitting back at home, and he said, 'I'll time you, 'and then I'll see you when you get home.' Come down here. She makes a great police officer because she's well rounded. Got a good head and makes good decisions. She stands her ground well. She's definitely got a mouth on her, so you know, if anything, yeah, that'll keep them away. (CHUCKLES) (SPITS, SNIFFLES) (SPITS, SNIFFLES) Do you have to spit? (SPITS, SNIFFLES) Do you have to spit? I'm sorry. I tell Jacqui always, 'As long as you get home at the end of the day, that's all I worry about.' I love night shift. It's funny, when everyone's asleep, what actually happens at night. You can't piss in public, mate. I didn't realise. I thought everyone just went to sleep before I joined the police, but stuff does happen during the night, and it's quite odd what does happen. MAN: Start heading towards <BLEEP>. At number <BLEEP>, there's a fight. About 50 people. OK, <BLEEP> Street. So that's off, um... Oh yeah, that's off Randwick. OK. SIREN WAILS A mob of drunken teenagers is a scary prospect, especially at Jacqui's height. But she won't be alone. Staff from all over the area are descending on the street scene that's turned ugly. We're just going to a bit of fighting just over the bridge here. > There's meant to be a party down there somewhere. > SHOUTING, CLAMOURING Get them out of here. Hey, you guys need to start moving on. Otherwise everyone's gonna start getting arrested. Go! Hurry up! Go! Jayden! Jayden, put a shirt on! Jayden! Jayden, put a shirt on! Stop yelling. Get out of here now. He needs his shirt on. <BLEEP>. He needs his shirt on. <BLEEP>. Leave him alone. 'It gets frustrating because you are dealing with that when you could be dealing with something more serious. 'You think, "What do their parents think? Where are their parents?"' No, get back. No, get back. What are you doing, you idiot? Get back. Get back. Stop being a idiot! Get back. All right. Come on. You need to... All right, can we start...? Can we start moving down and getting these guys off the street? They're being <BLEEP>. As acting sergeant, Jacqui calls the shots. How many parties are going on? How many parties are going on? There's two. But what happened was these guys, the younger lot, one of them threw a bottle and then the whole <BLEEP> started. Cos... And then people started swinging. Whoever started it wasn't actually with us. You need to get all your guys inside because we're gonna end up shutting the parties down, OK? Lana, jump back. Do you wanna run the line, Ricky, or get us in a line? 'You have to be aware of what's going on, where all your staff are at. 'They will look at you to set those sorts of things.' Come on. Start moving on. Come on. Start moving on. We're going to town. Gradually, Jacqui's bringing everybody back into line. Spoke to the guy that owns that party. He's all good. He's got all of his guys inside. All these guys are from that party on the corner there. TENSE MUSIC I just think the mere presence of us being here has quietened that party down already. Oh, here we go. # Do-do-do-do! # > But there's one bloke who really needs to pull his head in. JAUNTY MUSIC The next day, Jacqui heads out for a job she'd usually encounter at night. We're being called to a domestic in Stokes Valley. Someone's walked past and heard a male and female arguing and the female crying. They've left to call us on a payphone. Gidday. Are you guys all good? You live here? No, I knocked at the door, but no one's answering. Oh, right. So you know the people that live here, though? Oh, right. So you know the people that live here, though? < They're <BLEEP>. Right. Oh, we've just been called here cos someone's walked past and heard people arguing inside the house. < OK, well, it's not me. < OK, well, it's not me. It's all right. What's your name, mate? Me? <BLEEP>. Me? <BLEEP>. Oh, OK. And you're friends with these people here? Who's inside? No one is. I've knocked on the door, and it's quiet. Cool. Cheers. Thanks for that. The woman has claimed no knowledge of the incident, but Jacqui suspects otherwise. I bet you it's her. DOOR UNLOCKS DOOR UNLOCKS Hey, how are you? Saw your dog at the door. (CHUCKLES) Is everything all right here? Is everything all right here? MAN: Yeah, no problem. Hey, have you been smoking cannabis in here? Cos I can smell it. Oh, nah. Nah, man. Oh, nah. Nah, man. Are you sure? Well, under the Search and Surveillance Act 2012, we're gonna come in and search your property for cannabis cos now I can smell it. OK? (COUGHS) And w-we'll go from there. But if you've got any here, you just give it to me. There's certainly a smell. There's certainly a smell. The last bit. Yeah, yeah. Soon as you open the door. Were you smoking it with that girl that's left? Yeah. Yeah. Were you`? Did you guys have a bit of a barney? No, no. She wouldn't leave. No, no. She wouldn't leave. All right. Is your dog all good? Yeah, yeah, she's OK. Yeah, yeah, she's OK. OK. The domestic call-out turned into a whole new line of questioning. How much more is in here, and are you growing it here? How much more is in here, and are you growing it here? Nah, honestly, you can search. The more honest you are with us now, the easier it'll be. Cool. The more honest you are with us now, the easier it'll be. Cool. So how much is in there? Or in...? On searching the house, he wasn't exactly honest with us to start with, but eventually, we got it out of him, and we found all of his cannabis there. So there's no more anywhere else? Hey, dog. (CLICKS TONGUE) Do you sell it or not? Do you sell it or not? No, honestly, I don't sell it, mate. It's just moneymaking for me. OK, so you do sell it? You just said moneymaking. OK, let me explain it properly to youse, OK? Yeah, <BLEEP>. Is that your cell phone, then? Is that your cell phone, then? Yes. If we look through that cell phone, are we going to find any details of people that you sell to? No. Hey, mate, at this stage, I'm placing you under arrest for possession of cannabis, OK? We've located 59g in total of cannabis. 11 tinnies were rolled, ready to go; to` to either smoke or whatever. So this was all behind the couch, in his drawer, under the cushion, on the table. And the rest of it was all bagged in individual ziplock bags. It looks like he's dealing it, but he's not dealing it is what he's telling us. Um, so from` after the interview, we've processed him. We're charging him with possession of cannabis, and he will appear in court in seven days. As if breaking up isn't hard enough, this guy chose a bad time to draw Jacqui's attention today. Three in there. Four in there. Four in there. A whole lot of those buds in there. A whole lot of those buds in there. TOY CLATTERS A whole lot of those buds in there. TOY CLATTERS And one of these. 1 MAN: We need to keep the focus on WCBs, OK? > They've been involved in a couple of, um, high-profile incidents lately. Keeping a lid on the local WCB gang's activities has become Anne's big mission in the South Auckland suburb of Mangere. I went to Police College at the age of 17. I graduated, uh, when I turned 18 down in college. So I was really a young girl, straight from high school. Um, we're all well aware of the incident in David Lange Park where they, um, allegedly seriously assaulted a youth there. Failing for me wasn't an option, cos not only me, um, you know, I'm letting my whole family down. Not only my family, but I'm letting my whole island down. They're starting to get more active around the town centre. So we need to keep the heat on them. Anne and Jordan, I'll get you guys to see if the boys are up in Sturges Park. In regards to staff safety as well, if he's intoxicated, he probably becomes assaultive, and he's a renowned spitter. Just keep that in mind if you deal with him. RAPS: # So what's the next move? Where do I go? Where do I... # We're, uh, doing areas in Mangere to see if we can locate any of the, uh, WCB, um, boys ` um, street-gang members that we look after. They have bail conditions not to associate with each other or to hang around this park here. So if we do find them with each other or in this park, we can, um, lock them up for breach of bail. Empty alcohol bottles, um, and boxes down there. So it's an indication that, um, the boys have been here drinking. Not too sure when. So we're just gonna see if any of them are still hanging around. You haven't seen a bunch of dudes with blue hats, blue T-shirts, rags on their heads? Nah? Sweet as. Cheers. INTRIGUING MUSIC No one in the police is more effective at working with young gang members. I think they find Anne a bit disarming, perhaps? I think they're just more... I think they're just more... They like Anne. Yeah, more calm and, you know, they're more approachable, I find it. You help them out, and you think they're doing well and they're not offending any more; they're off the street. And then you hear they're committing crimes again. They're beating people up again. Uh, back drinking and taking drugs again. So it's frustrating for me. Come on. You know the rules, man. I saw you. I saw you. These guys are not allowed to be hanging out with each other. What have you got in your pockets? What have you got in your pockets? Just a smoke and a little bit of buds. OK, for that, cos you admitted that you have drugs, OK, now I'm gonna search you under Misuse of Drugs Act. now I'm gonna search you under Misuse of Drugs Act. Far?! Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo. Cool. Keep doing what you're doing. That's all I can do. But it is frustrating. (CHUCKLES) Because you're under arrest for your bail conditions and not to associate with <BLEEP>, and now that I've, um, found drugs on you, OK? So you've got the right to remain silent. You do not have to make any statement. Anything you say will be recorded and may be given as evidence in court. Anne moves on to check on another of her projects. She's made progress with him, but is he home in time for his curfew? (KNOCKS) Hi. Is <BLEEP> home? Hi. Is <BLEEP> home? WOMAN: Yeah. When I first joined, you know, everyone could lie to me, and I would just fall for it, you know? My first` My first day, um, someone who... I remember someone who stole, like, a chocolate bar or he stole something little, and, uh, and you know, he was, like, 'No, I didn't do it.' And it was so easy for me just to fall for it. Where's <BLEEP>? You're not <BLEEP>. Where's <BLEEP>? You're not <BLEEP>. MAN: No. Oh, he's in the shower. Where's <BLEEP>? You're not <BLEEP>. MAN: No. Oh, he's in the shower. OK, can I see <BLEEP>? And then later on, working, yo-you find that, uh, people do lie to you. Criminals, offenders will lie through their teeth. I just... I've just asked for <BLEEP>. Um, another guy's come out, hoping that I don't recognise him. So they're saying he's in the shower, but I don't know. I've got a feeling that he's not here. WOMAN: He's not here. WOMAN: He's not here. He's not here? We thought he was in the shower. We thought he was in the shower. OK. (SIGHS HEAVILY) Boy! He knows he's on bail conditions. (SIGHS) These boys just never learn. CURIOUS MUSIC What's the time? 7.30 right now. <BLEEP>, what time is it? <BLEEP>, what time is it? I went to get a asthma pump. <BLEEP>, what time is it? I went to get a asthma pump. What time's your curfew? 7. 7. 7? 7. 7? I went to get my asthma pump. Where's your asthma pump? Where's your asthma pump? I've got nothing. He's got nothing. OK. You know, <BLEEP>, that we are strict on your bail conditions, eh? All right, you know that, <BLEEP>. You're not` You're not one minute late. You're not five minutes late. You're 30 minutes late. You're 30 minutes late. But you saw me come home. You know your bail conditions. < You can explain that to the judge. < You can explain that to the judge. You saw me come back. Please. You're not listening. You're not listening. Come on, let's go. <BLEEP>, don't make this hard on yourself. <BLEEP>. We don't wanna handcuff you, but if you make it difficult, we'll put it on. Anne may have height on her side, but the last thing she wants is a struggle with a guy this solid. Come on, <BLEEP>. Let's go. Come on, <BLEEP>. Let's go. Come on. But I've got nothing. But I've got nothing. Yep. But I've got nothing. Yep. We will get your asthma pump. Just hold on. Just hold on. I'll grab that. Come on, man. We've been trying to work with you, eh? And you smell like you've been smoking weed. No. No, cos I was in the car. No. No, cos I was in the car. I can smell the strong cannabis on you. You've breached your bail conditions. Now I can smell cannabis. Have you got it on you? Are you sure? Cos I'm gonna search you later on, and if you do have` if you do have cannabis on you, you'll be charged for, um, drugs. you'll be charged for, um, drugs. No, I've got nothing! you'll be charged for, um, drugs. No, I've got nothing! OK. He's processed back at the station. Later that evening, Anne's night patrol turns up something that seldom happens ` someone caught red-handed. Take a seat. Sir, I'd just like you to remove your bag, please, all right? Thank you. Put it on the side. Step away. OK, so you want to tell me what happened? Did you smash up that car? Yep. Yep. Yes? And why did you smash up the car? Were you angry? Whose car does that belong to? Whose car does that belong to? Don't know. Whose car does that belong to? Don't know. You don't know? So you just smashed it for no reason? He had his hand in his pocket and, you know, there was just something about him that looked, you know, suspicious. I had` I just had that gut feeling that something wasn't right. Have you got anything in your pockets? Have you got anything in your pockets? I've got a screwdriver here. What's the screwdriver for, <BLEEP>? So you were trying to steal that car? OK. I wanna go to hospital. I wanna go to hospital. You wanna go to hospital? From here, we're gonna take you to the Mangere police station, and then I'll, um, talk to you about what happened, OK? Uh, he had a screwdriver on him. Um, he admitted to, um, using that screwdriver to break into the car. We've just found out that the car is currently stolen. Um, it's kind of funny that he was trying to steal a car that's already stolen. So we're dealing with both right now. Yep. How bizarre. It is really bizarre. ROCK MUSIC At the moment, I'm in the police search-and-rescue squad. 'I do love it...' Got something here. '...out there, searching for someone and finding clues.' But another side of the search and rescue is the disaster-victim identification side, which is the recovery of human remains. Bridget's worked on some of NZ's worst recent disasters ` the Pike River Mine explosion and the Christchurch earthquake. Before I went down to Christchurch, I said to myself, 'If I'd just lost my loved one, 'I would want the person that the police sent me to be the best person that they had.' And every time you attend a disaster-victim identification, you would go above and beyond. But my core business in the police is still alcohol harm-reduction officer. I saw you drinking it. Don't argue with me unless you want me to walk you over to my police station. Downtown Auckland's a powder keg guaranteed to go off. You're giving them water after I asked you to give them water. It's mayhem in a miniskirt. But I just saw punches. But I just saw punches. CHEERING Move on. Move on. Bridget's regular night patrol ensures that the party animals spilling out of the bars behave themselves. We've got this new scheme called Bar Watch Radio, and it's about giving the tools to the premises to look after their own environment. We've got a Bar Watch coordinator that sits next door to the downtown cameras. The doormen are talking to each other on that and saying, 'This person's too intoxicated. 'Um, don't allow them in. Point them to the nearest taxi stand.' Um, how's the radio going tonight? Um, how's the radio going tonight? Uh, good. Yeah. Last night, how did it go? Last night, how did it go? A lot better. Last night, how did it go? A lot better. A lot better, eh? So it's good. You guys passed over someone that was` The guys with a 34 on their back or something? Oh nah. There was a group of them. 12 or 15 of them. Oh nah. There was a group of them. 12 or 15 of them. Group of them. Yeah. Oh, very good. The feedback from the door staff has been really really good, and they are, in effect, the front line. They are that last... the last stop, the backstop as these people come out of these licensed premises. Someone's being disorderly in the lane, wanna get rid of them. Just along the street, a call's come in about some trouble brewing. The two males haven't had a fight yet. They're just a bit aggressive. We're gonna talk to them. So they're all` they're all connected by radio with the police, all these bars down here. So they just got over the radio. Yeah, yeah. So we're` we've got no beef with you. If there's a little bit aggression, we just don't want you in the lane, eh? So probably that's it for your night, and I'd get out of the city. Have a safe night. Yeah, you too. You too. I mean, we don't wanna cause trouble. We're not here for this, eh? All right. Sweet as. But even bigger trouble is brewing. A call's come in about a male indulging in some threatening behaviour. Seems to be just approaching everyone, isn't he? Think I just need to go and have a word to him, actually. You have to judge people. You can get little cues, you know, if they're starting to fire up. And you have to read those cues quite` quite well. Hey, buddy. Hey, buddy. Hey, buddy. Um, well, at the moment, we're actually stuck in Auckland. Al-All we've been trying to do is just to grab some, uh, any, uh, change or anything. Just to ge-get back to Hamilton. 'We watched him for a while, and he came up to an Asian fella' and then another fella and then another fella on Wyndham St, and he just looked intimidating. I think he was asking them for money. You can't be approaching people like that. I've seen you approach three people now. < Uh, no, no, yeah, yeah` < Uh, no, no, yeah, yeah` It's not gonna work. 'You just keep on talking and see how am I going to get through to you. 'And sometimes it's coming in hard.' You're quite intimidating, how you're doing it too. You're quite intimidating, how you're doing it too. < Uh, Officer, I'm very sorry. < The only reason why I'm doing that is` < The only reason why I'm doing that is` Guys, move on. The only reason why I'm doing it that way is cos everyone is drunk. I'm trying to talk nicely to them. Majority of the time, they'll say, 'Yeah, I know. I did wrong.' Got some ID on you? Got some ID on you? Uh, no, no, I've left my wallet and, uh, watch at my mate's place. My mate's over there, but yeah` My mate's over there, but yeah` Come over` Come over here and show me what you've got in your pockets. Um, yeah, that's all` Um, yeah, that's all` Over here` That's all I've got in my pockets. I tell you the truth. All we've been trying to do is trying to, yeah, look` look for work there. You're <BLEEP>, are you? You're <BLEEP>, are you? Yep, yep. <BLEEP>, Officer. Are you on any active charges at the moment, <BLEEP>? No, none at all, Officer. No, none at all, Officer. Comms, ACG in-line QP, please. Got his details. He's not wanted by police. He's got no active charges or bail conditions. And when were you last, uh, in trouble with police? Um, two years ago. Um, two years ago. Two years ago? What was that for? Um, two years ago. Two years ago? What was that for? Um, I forget. You forget? You forget? I've over it, Officer. I'm doing what I'm doing. Hey, is that your mate parked up around the corner, just in here? Hey, is that your mate parked up around the corner, just in here? Yeah. So, um, yeah, obviously no rego, no warrant. If you can't afford to pay the fines, what are you doing still driving the car? For what? < MAN: For fresh air. < MAN: For fresh air. For fresh air? < Yeah. Yeah, just trying to get a warrant. Yeah. < Yeah. Yeah, just trying to get a warrant. Yeah. WHISPERS: Oh my God. The driver said he's just come into the city for some fresh air. Drive around for fresh air. So... yeah. It's turned into a very expensive break for a little breather. Every time this car is driven, we can give it $400 worth of fines, bam, for no warrant, no rego. So they're gonna stay there for a while and hang out. It wasn't as sinister as it looked at the start. Don't approach anyone for money, OK? Don't approach anyone for money, OK? That's it. Don't approach anyone for money, OK? That's it. That's it. That's my last word. I'm not gonna do that, Officer. I'm not gonna do that, Officer. Good. Just keep on talking and try an angle and work them and see how am I gonna to get through to you. All right. You don't wanna end in fighting with someone. But, in saying that, sometimes it does go that way, and you are in, boots and all. SIREN WAILS Next week on Women in Blue ` That beep there. That is him. They are life-saving devices. Around those tennis courts is where they've got the best signal. Just walk away. Just walk away. Because I'm not` Walk away. Walk away. No, no, no. Why? Why? Why? Or you're going to be arrested. Or you're going to be arrested. Don't push me. I've told you a thousand times to go. Sorry, can I get you guys to hop off the couch and just go and sit over there? Up you get. Hey, you're under arrest for warrants, OK?
