America's Cup offers police four new boats

From Morning Report, 7:47 am on 2 November 2020

The America's Cup organisers have offered police four new boats to help them patrol the races on the Waitemata harbour.

The event is early next year and the police are in charge of national security arrangements.

They've warned Ministers it will be a struggle to get more boats in time if they are needed but it's unclear whether the Amcup gift will be accepted.
