The government is promising to boost the number of front line police officers and address gang violence as part of a hefty pre-Budget law and order package.
It's investing more than $560 million over four years into the police and wants to ensure there is at least once cop for every 480 New Zealanders.
One hundred million dollars will go towards combating gangs and organised crime, while $185 million will be spent over four years expanding the police's Tactical Response Model.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern spoke to Corin Dann.
