1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,320
Speaker 1: We seem to be in some sort of homicide spiral.

2
00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:04,040
Speaker 1: We've got eleven in the past month, the latter and

3
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: Kaitia Saturday night shootings to stabbings. People are ending up dead.

4
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:09,479
Speaker 1: The Police Assistant Commissioner for Auckland and North and Sam

5
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: hoils with a Sam morning to you very well, indeed

6
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:20,440
Speaker 1: thank you, and numerically speaking, how unusual is this, No.

7
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:22,919
Speaker 2: Doubt about it. This is a big month for homicides.

8
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 2: Usually we need a much longer time period for before

9
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,159
Speaker 2: we can kind of reach any conclusions around where this

10
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 2: is headed. But no doubt about it.

11
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 1: Even in a month is a big month for New

12
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,519
Speaker 1: Zealand and it's just one of those things. I take it.

13
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 1: There is no obvious connection, There is no obvious reason.

14
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: It just happens to crime and levoles and you know unfolds.

15
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 2: You'll look west getting across these as they happen, obviously

16
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 2: to see if we can pick up any early trends

17
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 2: or connections. It's, on the face of it, the normal

18
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 2: mix of organized crime and gangs and it can be harmed,

19
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 2: which has been with us for getting a man client.

20
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: Can we say by some sort of level of reassurance

21
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 1: that the people are almost always known to each other.

22
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 2: Yes, you know, it's a really good point, Mike. That

23
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 2: is very very rare that someone has murdered in New

24
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 2: Zealand by a complete stranger. There's relationships, whether they're through

25
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 2: organized crime, familiar relationships, neighbors. It is, you know, almost

26
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 2: unheard of. We're a complete stranger is killed in the

27
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 2: New Zealand context.

28
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: How much resource do you throw at a homicide and

29
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: given there's eleven, is that stretching you.

30
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 2: We throw a lot of resources at these, you know,

31
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 2: when you look at the Auckland picture, we throw resources

32
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,280

00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 2: teams that we've stood up of really smashed the week

37
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 2: over this last month and they'll have to you know,

38
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,800
