NZ police recruitment video

Want better work stories?

Keen to sprint, somersault, creep, chase or dive your way through your working day?

Then a career in the the police might be just up your alley - and a new recruitment video launching today aims to pique the interest of wannabe cops and boost New Zealand's law enforcement numbers.

"The World's Most Entertaining Police Recruitment Video" has just gone live in a bid to attract hundreds of new cops to apply.

And as the title suggests - the video is an action-packed and comedic take on policing in Aotearoa.

The video, which runs for two-and-a-half minutes, stars a huge range of police staff "in a fun, fast-paced sequence" and features all the different facets of police work, from the Armed Offenders Squad, to the dive and dog squads, the Eagle helicopter and youth aid officers, as well as frontline work.

The Auckland Police pipe band also makes a cameo appearance - as well as Black Ferns captain and policewoman Fiao'o Faamausili and Sergeant Sonny Iosefo who hit headlines with his dance moves in the police running man challenge.

Seventy staff members, including Commissioner Mike Bush, put their hands up to be involved in in the video.
