Ginny Andersen: Police Minister says adding 300 more police officers will tackle 'complex' crime situation
Election 2023 - A podcast by NZME
The Police Minister says bolstering the police force will help New Zealand tackle a complex crime situation. Labour has promised 300 more cops over four years if re-elected. It's on top of about 1800 more staff coming on board since Labour won the 2017 election. Police Minister Ginny Andersen says it will make a material difference. "Those extra police officers mean that when people call the phone and ring up police, we get a response immediately." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
