Prevention First: National Operating Model 2017

Date Published: 
July 2017

The Prevention First National Operating Model supports a way of thinking that applies to all New Zealand Police and informs everything we do.

Prevention First is designed to support and enhance the delivery of our key outcomes:

  • prevent crime and victimisation
  • target and catch offenders
  • deliver a more responsive Police service

At the centre of our approach is a structure, processes and policies that direct more resources to activities that prevent further harm, are explicitly victim focused, and that align with our purpose to ‘Be safe, Feel safe’.
