National's police spokesperson says rising crime rates is coming at an enormous human cost.
Ministerial briefings have revealed police response time targets have been extended due to rising pressure on staff and resources.
This comes as two people were seriously injured in a broad daylight attack at a dairy in Auckland's Mt Roskill yesterday.
National's Mark Mitchell told Francesca Rudkin there's a frustration over the lack of police response - and demand has overtaken any benefit of the additional police officers.
He says shop keepers are building cages around themselves - and that's not the New Zealand they want to be living in.
