These headcounts do not include those taking absence hours, in court and in training.
Please note that depending on the circumstances, deployment decisions may be made at the District level
and staff may be drawn from other areas within the Waikato District. In addition, staff may be assigned to
one location but work from another.
I trust this is of use to you.
