According to Mr Jolanie Johnson, a fifth grade teacher at the Saddler’s Primary School, “the students were chosen as a result of outstanding academic performance and behaviour.”
Both students expressed that the tour was awesome, with Curmarl stating he most enjoyed the tour of the Crime Scene Unit, in particular the technicians work with the “lifting of fingerprints”. Tei-naaki noted her favourite was seeing the workings of the Comparison Microscope as technicians examined and compared bullet casings used criminal activity.
Commissioner Queeley shared with the students that he was also a country boy. He encouraged them to continue to stay focused in their student life, make good choices and encourage their peers to do the same.
As for a career in the Police Service, Curmarl and Tei-naaki indicated that despite being impressed by the tour of the station and seeing all the tools of the trade they were looking at careers in medicine and aviation.
