The Whangārei/Kaipara Area stretches from Whangārei to Kaiwaka, across to Dargaville and Kawakawa.

The Far North Area starts at Kawakawa and stretches along both coastlines to Cape Reinga.

While Northland District is the second smallest in the country after Tasman, its geographical spread and many remote areas bring unique policing challenges.

For District staffing figures please refer to the Annual Report which can be found on the Publications and Statistics page.
