About us

Our Business

New Zealand Police delivers services that ensure people can be safe and feel safe in their homes, on our roads and in their communities. Police operate 24 hours a day in a complex environment actively targeting and preventing crime and harm. With around 15,000 staff, we work from urban and rural stations and larger policing hubs.

We operate on land, sea and in the air, and respond to more than 1.3 million events per year – answering more than 925,000 111 calls and over 743,000 non-emergency calls.

We’re working towards specific goals and targets that highlight our intent to work collaboratively with iwi and communities, other government sectors and business partners to deliver ‘Our Business’ and achieve long-term change.
