The Woolf Fisher Police Fellowship programme (established in September 2017) awards constabulary and non-constabulary employees each year for their excellence and dedication to New Zealand Police with a certificate and funding for international travel and study.
The primary purpose of the Fellowship is to promote better and more efficient policing for the benefit of our communities. The Fellowship provides funding to cover travel, study and associated costs of the fellow and an accompanying spouse or partner (if any). Fellows' study may include observation of policing practices in overseas jurisdictions or participation in a pre-agreed course of study (or both), and they are required to report back on their learning on their return.
