Recruitment of Māori to Police is on the rise.
When Recruit Wing 327 graduated on 4 July this year, these proud Māori constables wore their family kākahu which all have special meaning for them and their whanau.
In the last four years there has been an 81% increase in Māori applications (from 520-946).
The latest financial year (946 applications, for 2018/2019) has been our biggest year of Māori applications yet.
With the graduation of Wing 329 on 29 August almost 150 Māori recruits have graduated from RNZPC in the last 12 months.
