About us
Our Business
Our vision is for New Zealand to be the safest country. This means everyone in New Zealand can go about their daily life without fear of harm or victimisation.
We operate 24 hours a day in a complex environment actively enforcing the law, targeting and apprehending offenders and providing a priority service to victims.
With around 15,000 staff, we work from urban and rural stations and larger policing hubs.
