Do you hold the same view on all the emergency services which include Ambulance & Fire who get discounts or just the Police?

I don't care what discounts other emergency services get. The police are supposed to be above reproach when it come to honesty and integrity. Taking discounts for food in exchange for security patrols of McDonald's or any other place like that is wrong.

As the police chief himself said a few years ago it "cheapens the standing of New Zealand police".

It's not as if the fire brigade are going to be expected to do anything in return for cheap burgers. They won't be doing security patrols around McDonald's late at night when they're all tucked up in bed, being paid to sleep.

Do you need a hug @systolic

Instead of all the vitriolic right wing retardedness, why don't some of you consider what systolic is actually saying. Which is simply, cops can't accept half price/free shit without becoming compromised.

Don't get wrapped up with the messenger and instead, consider the message.

They aren't, they don't, they haven't for several years.

Typical of Systolic to turn a chat about whether police get some range time to be able to do critical parts of their jobs better (lifechanging shit), into a wank fest over whether they get a coffee at 4am for $2 instead of $3.50. @systolic, do you wish you'd joined civvie police instead?

I wont prolong the discussion as its an aside from the primary point. frankly I dont care one iota if maccas decided to give the boys in blue a deal or two -Its SFA in the general scheme of things and pales in comparison with shit going on at the sharp end.If ya dont like what others post dont bloody read it!

actually as i read my last I was reminded how this firm of private dicks in auckland had been used to penetrate CHCH quake claimants groups etcetc by govt agenciesand some cops had been moonlighting for them,also apparently SIS pers.
now that is real serious shit and worth worrying about.

Try reading what people actually said before having a rant, it will help you avoid looking stupid.

Are those discounts given just because someone is a police officer, or are they offered to members of the police union, which you don't have to be a police officer to join?

Unite union members, for example, are eligible for an extensive range of discounts and benifits.

I looked and saw the NZ Nurses Organisation has a range of benifits and discounts too.
