Summary
Thirty-four police officers from across the country just completed an intense two-week search and rescue course in rugged New Zealand terrain, laying the groundwork to become certified search and rescue managers. Faced with freezing nights and frosty conditions, they trained under diverse instructors and collaborated with the Royal New Zealand Air Force, amateur radio operators, and local landowners — all to master field safety, air support, and real-world search tactics. The climax? A massive 1,000-square-kilometer hunt for missing hunters — proving their readiness to lead national rescue operations under pressure.
