Year 13 Police Studies students visited by Land Search and Rescue

Posted on August 14, 2023

The Year 13 Police Studies class were recently treated to a visit from Land Search and Rescue (SAR) expert and co-ordinator, Senior Constable Brandon McCarthy and School Community Officer, Senior Constable Matthew Green.

A presentation outlining the work SAR carry out, their achievements and the requirements to enter this pathway greatly interested the students. The practical aspects included assembling a stretcher and using rope and a pulley system to rescue injured parties from a bush like setting on a rather foggy morning.

This experience provided students with an opportunity to explore careers within the New Zealand Police.
