Framework for preventing and reducing alcohol-related offending and victimisation 2010-2014

Date Published: 
September 2010

This framework sets our principles and focus around alcohol issues for Police for the next five years. It looks at the achievements that have been made so far, our focus and strategic context, as well as our control strategy and how we will measure success.

Alcohol is the most commonly used recreational drug in New Zealand. New Zealand’s National Drug Policy recognises the considerable health, social and economic costs caused by alcohol misuse.

A significant proportion of police work involves alcohol-related incidents. This includes many aspects of policing, including violent offending, homicides, drink driving, family violence, accommodating intoxicated people in our cells and incidents or offending involving young people.

Alcohol and other drug use in New Zealand drivers 2004 to 2009

Date Published: 
January 2010

This study looks at the prevalence of drug use by drivers on New Zealand roads.  The driving populations considered are biased populations and the 

results that have been obtained can be considered only as indicators of possible drug use in the wider driving population.   
 
The driving populations considered in this study are: 
  • Sample one:  Drivers killed as a result of a crash over the period of 1 July 2004 to 30 June 2009, and; 
  • Sample two: Drivers not involved in crashes but who had an evidential blood sample taken for alcohol analysis. The blood samples were collected over a six month period.
