Warnings the Government's police recruitment goal will mean splashing some cash.
The Police Minister has confirmed in the House 500 new officers will be delivered over two years, as promised in the coalition deal with New Zealand First.
Mark Mitchell had to U-turn on saying recruiting and attrition issues mean it'll take three years.
Police Association President Chris Cahill says they haven't had a pay rise since July 2022.
"Those people can't afford to join if they can't pay their mortgages, can't sort their cost of living state. That's what they need to look at, if they want to recruit and retain, they've got to sort the pay out."
