In New Zealand there have been a lot of recent complaints regarding the large amount of time taken for cops to get to emergency call-outs. The response has been that there are too few police who are too busy with an overload of crimes.
Today, this made national headlines and may help explain why the cops are so busy all the time :???: , and with a number of inevitable dismissals on the horizon this scandal is likely to make the stretched resources struggle even more.

Police will be interviewing 330 of their staff after an audit of their email system turned up thousands of sexually explicit images stored on police computers.
Police Commissioner Rob Robinson says the audit of police emails in November last year, found 5,000 inappropriate images which took up 20% of the storage capacity on the email system.
Apparently at least 80 of these emails were sent to or from other government departments.

The emergency 111 system is again under fire after claims that police phoned a farmer to attend callout in Northland saying that they were too busy to do it themselves.
Farmers say the incident cuts against the message police have been sending them - not to take the law into their own hands.
I no longer feel safe. "I'm sorry, you'll have to find some other way to combat those armed men in your house, we're too busy jerking off."
