The Associate Police Minister remains confident the Government's 500-cop recruitment target can still be reached by November. 

Police bosses say they've been facing challenges. 

They say more trainees are failing training, and more people have been leaving the Police force. 

But Casey Costello told Mike Hosking there is still six months to go. 

She says taking a monthly snapshot doesn’t provide a full picture and isn't helpful. 

Costello says the morale of the Police is good, which is contributing to strong interest in joining.
