Out in Uniform: Being a Queer Cop in Small Town New Zealand

Out in Uniform: Being a Queer Cop in Small Town New Zealand

Amy Simon’s is a queer police officer based in Invercargill - which is, as she'll tell you, about as far south as New Zealand goes.

In this episode we get into what life on the frontline actually looks like: the shift work, the heavy jobs, the moments that stay with you, and the quiet art of not bringing it all home. We also talk about being out and queer in both a small city and a traditionally tough industry and the dating pool situation in Southland (spoiler: small).

Funny, honest, and genuinely one of those conversations that goes places you don't expect. Lisa also confesses to a minor traffic violation. In front of a police officer. With a bag of (0%) alcohol.
