Andrew Hoggard: ACT's Rural Spokesperson on their policy that would increase rural policing

The ACT Party isn't saying how it'll pay for a major rural policing policy, but says it'll be a better use of taxpayer money than current spending.   It's boosting rural patrols and expanding 111 texting for farmers in poor mobile coverage.  Rural spokesperson Andrew Hoggard told Francesca Rudkin the plan requires an additional 182 officers in rural areas.  He says it would cost up to $45 million in the first year and about $30 million after that.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
