37376 (2024). Hon Ginny Andersen to the Associate Minister of Police: Does she agree with Winston Peters that they will exceed the target of “no fewer than 500 new frontline police within the first two years"?

Hon Casey Costello: The Member is taking a narrow interpretation of Rt Hon Peters’ comments. His full quote was “Our record, I might tell you, is [we have] delivered twice the police numbers, we over-produced last time, we promised 1800 frontline and we trained 2338, that’s our record. So if you’re talking about 500 this time, we’ll probably do better than that.”.
