Mark Mitchell: MP and former police officer says concerns remain around a lack of station staff despite increase in personnel

Concerns remain around a lack of police station staff. Data released under the Official Information Act shows there's been a net increase of 1576 constabulary staff since 2017 - the 1800 officers promised is on track for June. There have also been staffing boosts in Auckland and Wellington stations, while other regions saw no change or even lost staff. National police spokesperson Mark Mitchell told Mike Hosking frontline officers outside main centres are feeling under-resourced. LISTEN ABOVE  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
