Mark Mitchell: National Police Spokesperson says Police are being thrown under the bus over slow crime prevention rollout

National says the Government is throwing Police under the bus to deal with ram raids amid a slow rollout of prevention measures. Chris Hipkins told Police in August to move faster on using the $6 million Crime Prevention Fund, so shops can install security measures. At the time only five retailers were taken care of, and a month on just two more have been helped. National Police Spokesperson Mark Mitchell told Mike Hosking Police don't have the resources to do it. “You’ve got $171,000 that’s been committed out of a $6 million fund committed — not even spent — so it is a complete and abject failure on just about every level.” LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
