NEW Zealand police have emailed 3,000 British officers — in a bid to recruit them.
They are hoping to poach 100 experienced cops because they cannot find enough at home or in nearby Australia.
The similarity between British and New Zealand laws has meant the UK has become a prime hunting ground.
The 3,000 who were emailed had all previously expressed interest in emigrating.
The starting salary for Kiwi cops is £17,000 compared to £19,000 here.
But Brits could be tempted by the lower cost of living, the outdoor lifestyle and fewer serious crimes.
