• Continuing to transform policing through Policing Excellence: the Future and the four underlying work programmes: Safer Whanau, Service Delivery Model, Evidence Based Policing, and the Police High Performance Framework.
• Real strides have been made in identifying and embedding solutions to the Commission of Inquiry (COI) recommendations and Police is well on track to deliver the required cultural and other changes identified in the COI report.
• During the year Police delivered a number of major operations to protect New Zealanders, visitors and the country’s reputation as safe and secure place to visit and conduct business.
• Police are continuing to put prevention at the forefront , and victims at the heart , of everything we do. We are also maintaining a high level of public trust and confidence.
• Police continue to work in collaboration with partner agencies and will continue to contribute to a number of cross-government initiatives to improve the lives of New Zealanders.
• Police has continued to equip its staff with tools and technology that enable them to spend less time behind a desk and more time out in their communities, where they can make the biggest difference in preventing crime.
• Police also made further progress in ensuring that the demographic profile of its staff reflects that of the communities it polices .
