Foreword
Making New Zealand a safer place to live is the key aim of
Government and Police as described in this Statement of
Intent.
The Government has made substantial improvements in the
justice sector and is placing greater emphasis upon community
safety. Legislation has improved the rights of victims and
increased opportunities to be involved in the justice system. In
particular, Government has supported Police in focusing resources
on reducing burglary and making the roads safer. Together, our
future commitment is to build on the progress already made and
further improve the safety of New Zealanders by ensuring justice
sector agencies work more cohesively.
Key work includes:
- ensuring communities are adequately protected from crime
through a whole- of-government response that fits within the
framework of the Crime Reduction Strategy. This means a strong
focus on stopping increases in violence, burglary, vehicle crime
and organised crime; and
- improving the safety of New Zealanders through making the
roads safer and addressing national security concerns.
The following document outlines the medium-term outcomes
sought and the strategies put in place by the Government and
Police to facilitate this. It also sets out the advice and
services the Commissioner of Police has agreed to deliver to
enable the achievement of these outcomes.
The work of Police, together with the support of Government,
partner agencies, local government and the many non-government
and volunteer organisations will achieve:
