New campaign aims to "arm and educate" Kiwis in dealing with lone-wolf attackers

The country's getting up to scratch on teaching Kiwis how to manage possible lone wolf attackers in crowded spaces. 

Police are promoting the mantra 'escape, hide, tell' to show the public what to do during an attack.  

The Crowded Places Strategy includes information on how to detect possible attackers, and how to conduct security audits.  

Auckland's Newmarket Business Association CEO Mark Knoff-Thomas told Kerre Woodham there have been situations where people freeze or start filming, which isn鈥檛 ideal. 

He says they want to make sure people are armed and educated with the best knowledge possible, as even if it鈥檚 not applicable in New Zealand, it may come in useful overseas.
