Hard times in the job market are helping the police Maori recruitment strategy.
Auckland district Maori responsiveness adviser Glenn Mckay says an introduction programme run by Te Wananga o Aotearoa coming off the back of the police roadshow Te Haerenga earlier in the year, has flushed out many Maori wanting to join the force.
He told Waatea News a lot of work has gone into improving the students' maths, abstract numerical reasoning and physical fitness in preparation for police entry exams.
