    Police in the Far North are encouraging would be cops on South Island waiting lists to make the trip up


    The Canterbury district has been so popular that police are no longer accepting new applications, and there are long wait timesin Dunedin, Nelson Bays and the coastal Otago area.

    Mid and Far North area prevention manager, Senior Sergeant Clem Armstrong says Northland is an amazing place to work.

    He told the Herald the area does have its challenges.

    Armstrong says that includes high meth rates and homicide stats.
