Notable Observations

Police undertook considerably more preventative tasks in December 2011 than in the same month the previous year, but stopped fewer vehicles.
 
Police Safety Orders are increasingly being used and respected. These orders are only being breached in a small number of instances.
 
In December 2011, police recorded a similar number of Drugs offences, Liquor Ban breaches and Assaults, as in December 2010.
 
Disorder fell between these same two months, yet there were increases in Robbery, Burglary and Vehicles Stolen.

  2. Definitions for each of the measures above can be found by clicking here.
  3. Please note the statistics are provisional and drawn from a dynamic operational database. They are subject to change as new information is continually recorded.
  4. In order to report timely provisional statistics every month, the figures reported on this page are counted differently than the official statistics for recorded offences that are published each April and October. These figures should therefore not be compared to official statistics.
  5. Because the underlying database is constantly changing, and because of the work involved to publish statistics in this way, only a limited number of measures are reported on a monthly basis. For more detailed information, it is necessary to wait until official statistics are published each April and October.
  6. Statistics for road fatalities are published by the New Zealand Transport Agency.
