New Constable Yama Bashiri is already qualified in dealing with danger – just four years ago he was working in security in support of British and American convoys within his home country Afghanistan.
Becoming a member of New Zealand Police has been a long and arduous journey for Yama, one of 60 members of Wing 329, the Fa’amatuainu Tino Pereira wing, which graduated last week. Yama was one of several international recruits – other countries of origin include Brazil, Chile, India, Britain and Australia.
