Today New Zealand Police is recognising International Women’s Day by preparing for the arrival of forty-two female recruits – the largest number of female recruits ever in a single Wing.
Wing 315, which has a total of 80 new recruits, begin at the Royal New Zealand Police College on Monday.
Fittingly, Dame Jenny Shipley is the Wing Patron and she will be supporting these recruits through their training. Dame Jenny was the first female Prime Minister of New Zealand.
Wing 315 recruit Kiahli Ibbetson feels honoured to have the opportunity to learn from Dame Shipley.
