Information for groups and communities: how you can work with police

Police want to build relationships with any group interested in solving particular crime or crash problems. We have many successful partnerships with local authorities, community boards, schools, marae and ethnic groups. Any group is welcome to contact police to discuss issues.

Contact a community constable - see the national police phonebook to find your local police station.
