With about 650,000 residents, Canterbury makes up about 13% of New Zealand’s population.
But the region is only home to 987 sworn officers, about 9% of the New Zealand police force. National roles, such as those in the police prosecution team, are not counted in the district numbers.
It comes as some people in Christchurch are demanding an increased police presence following a massive spike in crime in their suburb.
Thefts and burglaries in Hornby are up by more than 80% in the past year, and tired residents are calling on the region’s top officers to step in.
Residents in Hornby are petitioning the police to have their police station manned 24 hours a day following a major spike in theft and burglary.
The petition, which on Monday night was just shy of 1000 signatures, will be presented to Canterbury Metro Superintendent Lane Todd on Tuesday night at a community meeting to discuss rising levels of crime.

I have just finished this 'paint by numbers' painting which I feel resembles the McKenzie Country in spring/summer. If it appeals to anybody who visits that area frequently and would like it I just want the cost back that I paid for the kit so I can buy another one - $25 or offer. … View moreI have just finished this 'paint by numbers' painting which I feel resembles the McKenzie Country in spring/summer. If it appeals to anybody who visits that area frequently and would like it I just want the cost back that I paid for the kit so I can buy another one - $25 or offer. Bearing in mind it is better looking at it from a distance as close up shows some of the numbers still!
