People in policing - a five year HR strategy to 2006

October 2001

Foreword

This is the first People in Policing: Five Year HR Strategy. It signals a longer term focus on the important matters facing everyone in NZ Police. The strategy was developed in consultation with a number of staff and other stakeholders and is based on their opinions as well as analysis of staffing patterns and ongoing issues.

Firstly and foremost the strategy reaffirms our commitment to integrity and applying our values. We are proud of our reputation for honesty and integrity and we aim to maintain and strengthen that reputation.

We serve a culturally rich society and are committed to better reflecting the constituent communities that Police serves. This strategy sets specific goals for us to achieve by 2005, including ensuring our staff are capable, skilled, trained and safe in their delivery of the current and future range of Police services. It also sets out strategies to continue improving our leadership and management capability.

The strategy also signals significant changes to the HR processes, systems and information management. This will see us move to simpler, more timely and more flexible management of people in Police. In developing and implementing these changes we must strive to balance the rights, aspirations and dignity of staff with the needs of NZ Police.

The document does not provide all the answers but rather it provides directions for the future. To achieve the goals set out in this strategy requires the dedication and commitment of everyone in NZ Police.

I look forward to working with you in the implementation of this strategy.
