Hon CHRIS HIPKINS (Minister of Police): Good news: last week, I received the latest report on Police workforce trends. Police have increased their planned recruitment levels for the 2022-2023 year to ensure that they are not only replacing the police officers who are leaving the workforce but they are further supporting Government's commitment to recruit an additional 1,800 police officers to the front line. Current projections are for recruits graduating from the Royal New Zealand Police College to be in the 750 to 850 range over the next financial year, meaning we're likely to see between 60 and 80 new recruits on the beat every month.
