Goff wrong again

Goff wrong again
"Phil Goff is wrong again. His claim that National cut police numbers by 500 is untrue," National Police Spokesperson Tony Ryall said.
"Between 1996-99, sworn Police numbers increased by 600 to then record levels.
"What Mr Goff should be explaining is the shortage of 120 frontline officers in Greater Auckland, and the 20% increase in violent crime there over the past two years.
"Then again, he may have been overseas when those figures were announced," Mr Ryall said.
