    Police are sending hundreds of workers into earthquake-prone buildings, despite significant safety risks identified

    Police are sending hundreds of workers into earthquake-prone buildings, despite significant safety risks identified



    An email to police IT workers - leaked to our newsroom - was sent out on Monday advising of the decision to occupy potentially compromised buildings at the Royal New Zealand Police College in Porirua.

    There are four buildings assessed at just 15 percent of the earthquake code and one at 20 percent.

    It includes the Memorial building, housing up to 350 IT staff and contractors - which the email says poses the most significant life safety risk.
