Police are refusing to say how much money will be spent on fitting frontline staff with new baseball-style caps, citing “commercial sensitivity”. Stuff understands hundreds of thousands of dollars will be spent on the caps, with about 10,000 caps required. Police declined to say how much the caps cost. Police Association president Chris Cahill said he was unable to comment on the cost of the caps. National's police spokesman, Simeon Brown, said police should be “open and transparent” about the cost of the caps.
