127 new cops for Waikato region

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.

Poll: Are you feeling more optimistic about our local economy lately?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Waikato farmers are leading the way! 🚜🐄 With exports booming and "stellar seasons" on the books, our farmers are pumping value back into the region.

Even with a cautious approach to spending, the benefits are slowly making their way into the local economy.

We want to know: Are you feeling more optimistic about our local economy lately?
