Asked about what he thought about the size of the amount, Cullen said "The Police should be congratulated for how much they achieve with the resources they have. Clearly other departments could learn from the Police's example."fifa games 3d dowlands

The Police Commissioner was more than satisfied with the work of his officers. "My officers were set a task, re-prioritised their workloads and ensured they achieved their targets."fifa games 3d dowlands

Asked if there was anything the public could do to help the Police in their work, Cullen said New Zealanders were driving too fast and they should keep it up.
