127 new cops for Waikato region
The allocation is part of the 1800 additional police nation-wide, funded through a $298.8 million increase in Budget 2018, to cater to the region's projected 21% population growth. The Waikato region is set to get 127 new police officers over the next five years. The major focus will be on tackling gang and drug-related crime and combating youth offending.
Police previously announced that Matamata, Te Kuiti and Thames were to become 24/7 stations. From the allocation, 15 officers will go to Thames and Te Kuiti stations. Six staff have already gone to Matamata, which now operates 24/7.
