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. 

Find out how Police District Recruit Vacancies work, and how this might impact your recruitment journey.
