Hon POTO WILLIAMS (Minister of Police): On Sunday, I was at Counties Manukau Police Station with my justice sector colleagues to announce $562 million in funding over four years into Police so they continue to have the resource they need to keep our communities safe. This is in addition to our already record investment in Police since 2017. Budget 2022 also sets out $50 million from next year to ensure that we continue to grow the number of police officers in line with population growth. This will mean that there will be one police officer for every 480 people, and delivers on a key manifesto commitment.
