When our police officers answer a call, they never do it alone. Their family and their friends answer the call too, for they share in the risk that their loved ones take every day to keep New Zealand safe for all of us. The call that Constable Hunt answered on Friday would, I'm sure, have sounded a lot like other calls that he and his colleagues had answered many times before. But what happened is a heartbreaking reminder that whatever the call, the life of a police officer, a loved one, a friend, a colleague can be taken away at any moment—a moment in which Constable Hunt's friends and family can go from looking forward to catching up with him at the weekend or maybe grabbing a beer after work to being told that he was gone.
