076 Brad Dannefaerd - New Zealand

The son of a hunting and fishing store owner, and an avid outdoorsman himself, Brad Dannefaerd worked with New Zealand Fisheries for nearly 20 years before retiring to found his own company. During his long and colorful career, he has worked alongside agencies in Australia, Canada and the United States, and literally written the book on defensive tactics and training for the New Zealand Ministry of Fisheries. Today, his company trains and equips everyone from law enforcement to librarians, teaching “people who deal with people” how to manage interactions safely and effectively.  Our Sponsors:  Thin Green Line Podcast Sovereign Sportsman Solutions “A Cowboy in the Woods” Book Hunt of a Lifetime Maine's Operation Game Thief Wildlife Heritage Foundation of NH International Wildlife Crimestoppers Here’s what we discuss: One big international family An introduction to New Zealand The traditional haka All NZ agencies under one jurisdiction Type of offender has changed  We had to get a lot smarter More authority than police Working with Customs agencies Building intelligence to make a larger case Targeting the high-level offender Only two licenses required  Still able to enforce Fish & Game laws NZ police do not carry firearms Enforcement by consent Never lost a fisheries officer Different style of enforcement Bright blue uniforms Non-escalation vs. de-escalation  Founding CERT (Compliance, Enforcement & Regulatory Training) NZ Police purchased CERT technical comms package  Never met a game warden I didn’t like Game wardens are a tight knit community Developing contacts worldwide Credits Hosts: Wayne Saunders and John Nores Producer: Jay Ammann Social Media: Stacey DesRoches Find More Here: Website Apple Podcasts Spotify Facebook Facebook Fan Page Instagram Twitter Spreadshirt Stitcher TuneIn Megaphone YouTube RSS Learn more about your ad choices.
