Presented to the House of Representatives pursuant to section 34A of the Public Finance Act 1989.

Foreword

Police will continue to partner with the community and work within the broader criminal justice sector over the coming year to further reduce crime and crashes and enhance public safety. A particular focus will be on strengthening internal Police capability to better respond to community requirements.

The three key areas of development will be service, capability and integrity.

Police will undertake an organisation-wide programme of service improvement utilising intelligence-led policing to improve strategic and tactical decisions to guide the deployment of staff and resources. This will in turn enable a more holistic organisational approach to deployment which should improve outcomes and increase public trust and confidence.

All Police staff have a leadership role in their communities.Enhancements to the Police Competency Framework will reinforce the inclusion of core values and behavioural based competencies. Additional work will be undertaken in the professional development of leaders within Police. Recruitment within Police will continue to focus on the highest quality candidates who will also reflect the diversity of New Zealand’s population.

Public support and confidence in Police is vital to the maintenance of the rule of law and public support for the justice system. To maintain this support and confidence Police need to maintain the highest standards.Behaviours and attitudes that undermine that support and confidence are unacceptable and will be treated very seriously.
