India-born Mandeep Kaur moved to New Zealand as an immigrant from Punjab's Malwa district with the dream of becoming a police officer. In 2004, Mandeep joined the New Zealand Police, becoming the country's first Indian-born female police officer. She was promoted to senior sergeant rank in March and got her new badge by NZ police commissioner Andrea Coster. She worked as an ethnic people's community relations officer.
