We are now accepting applications for most New Zealand Police Districts!
Even though we are accepting applications for most districts, we're prioritising applications for locations with the most vacancies.
Applicants for Dunedin, Nelson Bays, Otago Coastal, Bay of Plenty and Canterbury currently have very limited vacancies and long wait times before we begin to progress new applications.
Wanting to start at the Royal New Zealand Police College sooner?
Now is the perfect time to apply for one of our priority locations. If you are open to relocating to one of our priority areas- our team is here to help. Reach out to newcops@police.govt.nz and we can connect you with the District Recruitment Lead.
