Oral Skill Blog Entry Seven------Summary for lecture

This lecture by Rohan Stace was about "You and New Zealand Police". There are five areas. The first point he spoke about how to communicate with police. For example, in an emergency situation, the first thing to do is to dial 111 which is free for public. And if you have communication difficulties, you can use the language line for help or get a help from a friend or family member.

One of the key problems he mentioned was about domestic/family violence which is a crime and against the law. He gave some suggestions, such as ring 111 if you were in immediate danger or tell someone you trust about this. In addition, it is most important for looking after children to keep them safety in school and in a car and at home.

Moreover, another point he talked about how to deal with burglary. You and ring 111 or visit police station to report it, and do not touch or move anything because police need them as evidence. Another thing to do is to reduce the burglars opportunities. For instance, try to know your neighbour and don't make your property look easy entrance.

Consequently, Mr Stace gave us much useful information, it helps us to get know about police in New Zealand. However, in my opinion, he spoke too fast to understand, and it is not easy to catch them.
