Fleet of 'police buses' rolled out in Auckland to drive recruitment
A fleet of "police buses" has rolled out across Auckland to drive recruitment into the force. The five Auckland Transport buses, wrapped in police livery, were set to be a mobile billboard for police as they continued driving their routes around the city. The buses were covered in the New Zealand Police's famous blue, yellow, and white, with "Next Stop: Making a Difference" written on the side. Commissioner Richard Chambers said the campaign was part of police efforts to recruit its target of 500 new officers. The buses will be around the city over the next 12 weeks. (Source: Supplied) ADVERTISEMENT "These newly decorated double-decker buses seat 500 people, which is exactly the number we want to recruit." He said Auckland had always been a key recruitment area for police, and was "keen to be highly visible and advertise far and wide". Winter's here, supermarket spying, and TikTok's new feature. (Source: 1News) "We know that the buses are ideal for reaching the whole of the city." The total cost to wrap the buses was $119,800, which included print, installation, and 12 weeks of media advertising. The redecorated buses were introduced just a month from the new police training campus in Albany on Auckland's North Shore, welcoming its first batch of recruits. "The new Auckland training campus at Albany will also help make a career with the police a reality for those who cannot relocate to Wellington for the full 20-week course," Chambers said. ADVERTISEMENT The new buses were part of a drive to recruit 500 news officers. (Source: Supplied) "That campus is set to welcome its first intake from the start of July. That is a significant development in our recruitment and training." Under the National-NZ First coalition agreement, the Government set a target of recruiting an extra 500 officers within its first two years in office. However, the recruitment drive has struggled to meet expectations, and the Government conceded last month it would likely miss the November target.

Terrible
ABC reports: It happens every week in Boulder, Colorado. A group of volunteers from the Run for Their Lives organisation silently march through the streets to raise awareness of the hostages still held in Gaza. … The FBI said the suspect allegedly shouted 'Free Palestine' while using a makeshift flamethrower at a crowd of people. So a group of Jewish Americans do a silent march every week to raise awareness of hostages, and an illegal overstayer attacked them with a flamethrower and Molotov cocktails. How many pro-Hamas people in the West have been randomly attacked, and compare that to the numerous attacks on Jews who think Israel has a right to exist.
