Smile and Pod - Snr Constable Chris Hurring

On this episode we have the pleasure to talk to Senior Constable Chris Hurring of the New Zealand Police. Chris is based in North Canterbury and is the Family Protection Officer for the region.

Chris has been a positive driving force against domestic violence and has also headed an award winning programme called ReachOut, which we discuss today.

He also works closely with Women’s Refuge and Aviva, and has some eye opening insights for us around domestic violence, and the false stereotypes around it.

We thank Chris for his time and the New Zealand Police, Women's Refuge, Aviva and Shine for the wonderful work they are doing to help keep Kiwi families safe.
