Hi
It is very unlikely. There are about 500 of us here now.
I have heard that they are going to South East Asia to fill a load of vacancies in South Auckland.
You could always come over and do the testing like I did but you may not get previous experience taken into account when it comes to pay scale etc..
By the way, night shifts can be really boring. Thats why I'm writing this at 5.45 am!!!!!!

Thanks Jason
So how did you get in? I spoke to nz recruiting and they basically said to me that I cant apply until i get a resident visa?
So its a pain really? how many service did you have when you apply?

I applied first and then got my permanent residency when I had the job offer. At the time the Police was one of the jobs on the shortgage list. It might be worth checking the NZ immigration website to see if it is still on the list.
I do know some UK cops who came over here off their own backs before the conversion courses started and they had no problems. I was also going to do that but got offered the conversion course which was shorter so I did that.
In NZ police it depends who you talk to, you can ask 3 people the same question and get 3 different answers.
The person to talk to is a lady called Chrissie Straayer, in Wellington. She was our point of contact for the Uk cops and was very good.
Also have a look at the website www.newcops.co.nz
I had just over 6 and a half years in when I came out and I know a few who only had 3.
Good Luck
