Interest in Manukau police roles high - Collins

The police recruitment drive in Counties Manukau is yielding good results.

In this year's Budget, the Government pledged close to $2 million aimed at providing an extra 300 officers for the district.

Police Minister Judith Collins says police personnel are being inundated with expressions of interest and during the last round of recruitment seminars 1,940 people registered, 77 per cent more than the same time last year.
