Police Ten 7

This week Police Ten-7 will be featuring the case of murdered Feilding farmer Scott Guy.

The TV2 show will spotlight the case which has been open for the past three months following the 31-year-old’s death in the early hours of July the 8th.

Police Ten-7 will be asking viewers to try and remember their actions that day in an attempt to gain information which may shed new light on what happened on the Aorangi Road property that day.

Detective Inspector Sue Schwalger said: “It’s always been a consideration to use Police Ten-7 as another means of eliciting information. It is a different audience and demographic to other media and with any investigation you look at ways you can reach different audiences. It is also a chance to remind people that we are still looking for information in relation to Scott’s death.”

Police Ten-7 screens on TV2 this Thursday 7 October, at 7.30pm.

The investigation team can be reached on 0800 808585 or anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.

7:30pm Thursday, May 6 on TV2

Police Ten 7 celebrates a major milestone tonight, with the 250th episode of the hit local show.

Since the launch of Police Ten 7 nine years ago, more than 700 serious crimes have been featured, and police have resolved countless cases thanks to the viewers’ calls to the 0800 107 INFO phone line. The show also has another reason to celebrate with the recent triumph in this year’s TV Guide ‘Best on Box Awards’, where the show took the award for best reality series, confirming the police procedural programme as a firm Kiwi favourite.

The programme’s presenter, Detective Inspector (ret) Graham Bell is delighted to have reached this anniversary, which makes the series one of the most long running in New Zealand history.

“Reaching 250 episodes of Police Ten 7 is a significant achievement that reinforces the popularity of the show, and also means more people are wanting to help the police solve crime,” says Bell.

With the help of viewers’ information, serious offenders are apprehended every week, which is another aspect of the programme Bell is proud of.

“We’ve lost count of the number of arrests that have been made by police acting on information from Police Ten 7 viewers, but I know we hit 400 some time ago. This is a phenomenal result, and the benefits to the community are impossible to quantify. Every single week we profile a new crime or wanted person, and every week the show gets positive results.”

Police Ten 7 was the first of its kind on New Zealand television, and has provided a window into the world that Bell is well familiar with from his 33 years in the force.

“We’ve taken a pretty unflinching, behind-the-scenes look at the real work our police do, and over the years we’ve pretty much seen it all, good and bad.”

In tonight’s episode, Graham Bell investigates another serious crime, and police in Porirua deal with a knife fight.

Hi Throng people,

I’m wondering if anyone out there remembers an old episode of Police Ten 7 that was aired in or around 2003. It was the episode that featured an incident involving a bunch of “goth” youths drinking in the Grafton Cemetery. One of the members of the group was ranting on about how they are unfairly treated by society… LOL…

Anyway, I would like to know if anyone knwos how I can get hold of this episode or if anyone happened to record it or something. I am desperate to get my hands on it!

TIA

Stella.

7:30pm Thursday, August 27 on TV2

Police Ten 7, TV2′s top-rating, crime-busting show is back, featuring more action from the frontline, more current cases to solve and more crime ‘hot spots’ from around the country.

The last season ended on a high note with one of the best Police Ten 7 strike rates to date. Five wanted people were featured on the 2nd of July, facing a variety of serious charges including methamphetamine for supply, breach of prison release conditions, and two men wanted for separate bank robberies. All five were located and put behind bars by Saturday afternoon – only 48 hours after appearing on the programme. Police have directly attributed all five arrests to information received to the tip-off line after the show went to air.

The programme’s presenter, Detective Inspector (ret) Graham Bell, says that the secret to the series’ crime-fighting success is simple.

“People are very concerned about crime and they want to help in any way they can. Police Ten 7 offers a unique and very real opportunity to do this. All it takes is the right person watching at the right time, and it’s the viewer’s calls to the 0800 107 INFO (0800 107 4636) that is making the difference.”

Police Ten 7 viewers are also given an insiders look at the day-to-day life of policing in New Zealand providing a valuable insight into the often dramatic working lives of officers.

“With the new season of Police Ten 7, we will feature unique behind the scenes access to serious cases, being the first to reveal new information in high-profile crimes,” says producer Sarah Luise Hornblow. “As well as telling the different stories of policing, the show will provide viewers an insight into the important, varied and often-difficult work the New Zealand police face each day.”

The new series will also feature reality stories, filmed when Police Ten 7 were given exclusive access to detectives around the country executing warrants at gang pads and ‘P’ houses. We also catch up with front line police in Palmerston North, New Plymouth, and Christchurch as they deal with drunks, brawlers, thieves and chaos on the streets.

Host of Police Ten 7, retired Detective Inspector Graham Bell talks to Escape about successful cases on the show – now in its 15th season:

“The programme continues to be a highly successful crime-solving tool.  I am delighted with our successes.”

There has only been two proven false complaints covered on the show and more than 350 arrests.

“One really satisfying case concerns home invasions and disgraceful assaults on elderly ladies in the Christchurch suburb of Casebrook.

When the description of the offender was broadcast, along with a sample of his handwriting from a note he had written to one woman, the viewing ublic were on the phone immediately naming the offender.”
