wb1116: I've had a conversation with the NZDF team and the guards had removed the previous cache (which has now been returned to me). There have been ongoing issues with 'friends of the prison' using this road to park up and then do some cross country prison deliveries.

Suspicious looking geocachers are causing additional patrolling by the security guards, so I have agreed to remove this cache permanently.

Geocache Description:

JAWz on PAWz, ENFORCING the LAWz

A cache located at the New Zealand Police Dog Training Centre.

Below is a link where you can find more information about the Police Dogs in New Zealand.

This location is of particular interest to me as I was a police dog handler in the South African Police prior to immigrating to New Zealand, working in the western areas of Johannesburg. My police dog was a German Shepherd Dog named Wolf (pictured left). He was trained as a patrol dog and then advanced on to an explosives detection dog. We worked together for nine years before he retired due to hip dysplasia, a common problem found in German Shepherds.

More information on the New Zealand Police Dog Unit can be found here.
