The Government is trying to hit the mark on work-life balance as it announces a new Police training site in Auckland.  

The Police Commissioner says he hopes to open the new base by the end of June to help the force reach its goal of 500 new officers.  

However, Richard Chambers says they are yet to confirm its location.   

Associate Police Minister Casey Costello told Andrew Dickens the base will attract people wanting to live at home while training.  

She says there are currently barriers to police college for people starting young families.
