   媒体今天报道说警察部门的预算将被大幅削减,这势必对分布在全国各社区的一线警力造成严重影响。

  工党警察事务发言人克里斯•法福伊指出:如果国家党政府意图在3年内削减3.6亿纽元,前线警力将无法维持现有水平。

  减少警员及警力资源只会令维护社区安全的任务变得更加困难。

  和所有的政府机构一样,警察部门也被要求花更少钱办更多的事。警察部达成一致意见要实施革新,可是削减预算不但使各方面捉襟见肘,还将意味着一线警力资源也因之变得更紧张。

  我赞成警察协会的意见――认为削减预算将导致前线警力无法快速回应人们的求助,亦无法应对预防犯罪。

  国家党在治安方面一向措辞强硬,却不想为完善警力资源作投入。

  先是今年初推迟招募警察,现在又是大幅削减预算――这将导致我们少掉更多一线警员。

  砍掉警察部门的预算是不能为我们带来安全的社区的。

  Police budget cuts can’t deliver safer communities

  Massive budget cuts for police reported this morning will severely affect front line policing in all Kiwi communities, Labour’s Police spokesperson Kris Faafoi said today.

  “Front line policing will not be able to maintained to current levels if National’s intentions are to slash $360 million dollars from the Budget over three years,” Kris Faafoi said.

  “Fewer officers on the beat and less resources will only make the task of keeping our communities safer harder.

  “Like all Government departments, police are being asked to do more with less. The department has a collective agreement to renew but cuts of the nature reported today won’t just make things tight, it will mean operationally, the police will be stretched.

  “I agree with the Police Association that such proposed cuts will lead to police on the front line not being able to respond quickly to calls for assistance and the ability to prevent crime being diminished.

  “National’s talked tough in this area but its commitment to a well-resourced and staffed police force is lacking.

  “It began the year with deferring an intake of police recruits and now it looks like major budget cuts will see more front line officers taken off the beat.

  “Police Budget cuts can’t deliver safer communities,” Kris Faafoi said.
