The Police Minister is adamant his government will deliver on its promise of 500 new cops by the end of next year.
New police commissioner Richard Chambers warned yesterday they're unlikely to meet those numbers until 2026.
But Minister Mark Mitchell told Mike Hosking they're going to get as close to the target as they can.
He says that they’re not dropping standards, and though they always knew the target of 10,711 officers trained by November 2025 was ambitious, they remain committed to it.
