Police Ethnic Strategy

New Zealand Police has developed a strategy to guide the way we work to meet the safety needs of our diverse ethnic communities. The strategy sets out how police work closely with community members and other agencies to reduce crime and fear of victimisation in ethnic communities.

You can read our ethnic strategy: Working Together With Ethnic Communities - Police Ethnic Strategy Towards 2010

We welcome your input and suggestions as to how we can increase safety in your community:
