NZ Police Commissioners, Executive and District Commanders

The chief executive of Police is known as the Commissioner and is appointed by the Governor General. The Commissioner is accountable to the Minister of Police for the administration of police services, but acts independently in carrying out law enforcement decisions.

Nationally we have 12 districts, which are administered from Police National Headquarters in Wellington, and a number of national service centres that provide administrative and specialised support, such as forensic services.
