Waikato police to protest; despite lift
PA Hamilton The Waikato police will join a national campaign against Government cuts in the police budget — in spite of receiving extra staff. The Commissioner of Police, Mr John Jamieson, said on Tuesday the Rotorua region, which includes the Hamilton, Te Awamutu, Tokoroa, Tauranga, Rotorua and Gisborne districts, would receive 43 extra staff, from 851 to 894. But the number of police in the Waikato was likeely to drop as officers left and the mothballing of the police college cut new recruits, the chairman of the Police Association Hamilton and Rural District, Mr Denis Taylor, said. “Our concern is that the staff shortage is going to impinge on those members left to held the can where the staff shortages are taking place.”
