Hon POTO WILLIAMS: Growing the diversity of our front-line police means that they are more likely to represent the communities in which they serve. Since 2017, we have grown the police footprint across the country. In Northland, 88 additional cops; in Waikato, 97 more cops; and in Canterbury, 99 more cops. This Government will continue to support our police to do their job while also growing the diversity of the workforce so that they can represent the people they protect.
