All New Zealand police officers will receive new stab- and bullet-proof vests in a $20 million roll-out over the next three-and-a-half years.
The current vests - which were introduced in 2006 - are stab-proof, but special vests are worn by any officers involved in firearms call-outs.
They have passed their warranty, but remain "safe and fit for purpose", says Police Commissioner Mike Bush.
What do you think about the new armour? Are police officers safe using the current vests? Are you surprised the existing vests aren't stab- and bullet-proof?

Better still, they’re a snap to make, especially if you have ready-grated tasty and parmesan cheese from Mainland in the fridge.
For the more adventurous eaters, finish each muffin with a little wedge of Brie, Noble or Blue cheese. You might not be able to resist sneaking a couple for your own lunch!

However, based on progress up to Tuesday, more than 150,000 water users will have to put up with chlorinated water until at least the end of June, when an ultra-violet treatment plant is due to be commissioned.
Council water supply improvement programme manager Helen Beaumont says the council has not yet "given up on the May target" for taking chlorine out of the city's water supply.

On Thursday it was Hanmer Forest in North Canterbury that topped the temperature charts, with a stifling maximum of 38.4 degrees Celsius, according to the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research.
That was the hottest temperature there since records began in 1906, the fourth-equal highest temperature for January of anywhere in New Zealand, and the hottest temperature of this summer so far.
But while most of the country has sweltered over the past five days, the hot spell experienced by many has actually fallen short of official heatwave status.

‘’Update on our delightful duo, now 4 months old, Salem and Luna we adopted 26th Nov. Oh gosh I dont even know where to start lol Salem plays fetch with poms poms, he loves to be held like a baby and smooches faces with an open mouth lol Luna is the explorer, first to do anything with no fear, she was the first to jump into the fridge, first to climb the massive 12 foot tree I have in my yard, terrifying me lol she loves early morning cuddles, like 2am cuddles lol if walking she lyes on your foot smooching n flopping around like a fish. I no longer have net curtains or plants but I the renovations thanks to the kitty crew are totally worth it. They get along fabulously with my wee dog Pickles and are just adored by my daughter Paige n I. They've enriched our lives so much ❤
My parents also adopted a brother n sister from Cat Rescue 5 years ago 😊 my two are completely different he is in your face for loves and wants them whenever where as she is only on her terms and when she wants loves most affectionate wee girl. He has dog traits such as fetch n is clumsy, she is 100% tree climbing, bug hunting feline n so delicate plus very sneaky. They're hilarious and we waste so much time watching them. Hard to think we've only had them in our world for only two months cos we've loved them for a life time ‘’
If you are also looking for a rescue cat/kitten to adopt Cat Rescue use the following three avenues to advertise kittens ready to find there forever homes.:-
1. Trade me - Cats to adopt
2. Pet Central stores in Christchurch take in CR kittens for adoption
3. Catnap Café also have CR kittens and cats for adoption.
Thank you.

The Historic and Vintage Car Club Class portray the birth of car racing here in New Zealand and while they might be our older racecars, they are not slow out on the track.
Another large class of racing are the Classic Saloons who always present some spirited and close competition on the track, and then of course there are the Classic Muscle who give us the noise and thrills from the big boys. The Rennsport class means German Racing which combines Porsche, BMW and any other German marque and provide a variety in spectacle and speed. The Single Seaters or Formula Libre and Sports and GT’s complete the lineup for the meeting.
