NZ police want greater powers for dealing with terrorism

From Morning Report, 8:27 am on 28 August 2020

The police want greater powers for dealing with terrorism, more in line with the United Kingdom's prevention model.

Senior officers joined Police Minister Stuart Nash in a meeting with the head of the UK's Home Office in December last year, and discussed counter terrorism policing.

RNZ has been told police here would like to adopt some of Britain's terrorism laws.
