A powerful lift to Police: Auckland recruits graduating this week

Twenty-one new constables, who have done all their police training in Auckland, will graduate at a ceremony in the Vodafone Events Centre on Thursday.

After 19 weeks of intensive training, our brand new Auckland-based recruits are ready to join the three Auckland police districts and work on the frontline.

This is the second cohort to be trained in Tāmaki Makaurau as part of a non-residential course.

This means they have been able to live at home during their training instead of moving to and training at the Royal New Zealand Police College in Porirua, Wellington.
