Who's Up at 5am? Counties Manukau police

From First Up, 5:47 am on 29 July 2019

Many police in New Zealand are on the frontline before most of us have even had our breakfast.

They're up and about like us and our listeners at the crack of dawn and they're patrolling the streets answering everything from domestic violence call-outs, bail-outs to home detention check-ins and more.

Counties Manukau is the busiest district in the country.

Videographer Tim Collins and Indira took a ride in the back of one of the district's police cars with two officers who were on street patrol during the wee small hours.
