An excellent choice by the Cook Islands government. I first met James at the New Zealand Police Academy in Porirua in 1983 whilst completing Police Recruit training in Recruit Wing #92 where James was just completing training with Recruit Wing #90. James used to pick me up for early morning shifts at Auckland Police Central Police station on his mini. Thanks a lot mate, I will not forget your kindness. I hope and pray full support from the current administrator's of the Cook Islands Police and also former members who I believe will be as keen to support one of our own. Kia Manuia.
