	Description:		New Zealand Police is tackling the challenge of officers going to Australia head on. Yesterday Checkpoint heard from a recruitment officer for Northern Territory Police who had no qualms about luring kiwi cops over, and said they would be coming here on a roadshow this month to talk about the higher salaries and housing allowances on offer. First year constables in the Northern Territory earn a salary of $111,000 compared to $83,000 here - the salary quoted on the new cops website in New Zealand. After five years in the force an officer would get $121,000 in Northern Territory compared to $91,000 here.
