Labour's anticipating many Kiwi police officers will take up New South Wales' incentivised offer.

The state is 1500 officers short and has announced it'll fast-track New Zealand officers as recruits.

Training requirements will be shortened and Kiwis with at least seven years' experience can keep their current rank, up to senior constable. 

Labour's Spokesperson on Police, Ginny Andersen told Roman Travers that this offers more than other poaching attempts from Australian states.

She says they know that a lot will go, and Police Association President Chris Cahill's said 20 have gone in the last week.
