Increase in Police Numbers a positive Sign

This afternoon I issued a Press Release (which can be found on my website http://www.michaelwoodhouse.co.nz/) welcoming news that full time police staff in the Southern district had increased by 28 between June 2008 and June 2009. This is a clear sign that the Governments commitment to increase numbers of police by 600 by the end of 2011 is on track to be met.


While the majority of committed police will be appointed in South Auckland I'm delighted that Dunedin is also included in this Government's committment to keep us safer by increasing police numbers. We live in a fantastic city but it is important that we not be complacent about rising crime. Dunedin can be confident that I will work hard to ensure that this is not the case.
