Recording and coding of crime and incident reports by Police staff is subject to constant scrutiny. In addition to local assurance checks, key dimensions of data quality are regularly monitored at the national level, as part of a focus on ensuring consistent application of New Zealand Police’s National Recording Standard and case management process. Specific audits of crime recording and coding decisions are also undertaken as part of a comprehensive, national, Data Quality Audit Plan.
This report highlights findings from the 2016/17 Data Quality Audit Plan, covering the period from July 2016 to June 2017.

The risk of a terrorist attack in New Zealand is low, but Government are determined that New Zealand and New Zealanders be neither the target nor source of terrorist activities.
The designation of terrorist entities is one measure New Zealand takes to contribute to the international campaign against terrorism. The Terrorism Suppression Act 2002 (TSA) provides for a list of terrrorist entities to be established and maintained in New Zealand. Police are responsible for coordinating requests to the Prime Minister for designation as a terrorist entity.
The following documents detail designations that were renewed as terrorist entities on 13 July 2017.
The statistics reported in the attached documents come from the NZ Police Professional Conduct database (IAPro). These official statistics relate to reported incidents received and refer to calendar years.
These statistics will be updated quarterly (four times per year) showing the year-to date (YTD) position.
The statistics show the number of incidents that were reported in the quarters shown, regardless of when the incident actually occurred (e.g. an incident that occurred in December 2015 may not be formally reported until January 2016).
The statistics also show the number of NZ Police employees involved in the incidents (that is those that have had allegations made against them), and the number of allegations that have been made.
The statistics include incidents that have been resolved (completed), and those that are yet to be resolved (ongoing).
The statistics are in some cases divided into the 12 Police Districts of the New Zealand Police structure. In addition there are NZ Police groups (generally referred to as ‘Service Centres’) that do not come under a particular District, but are general to the organisation as a whole.
The statistics may be further grouped by:
Because an incident can involve several employees facing several allegations, which may be from several different types of conduct or actions, the figures shown cannot always be reconciled exactly.
The New Zealand Police Four Year Plan outlines Police’s strategic intentions for the years 2017-2021. This includes Police’s challenges, vision, mission, objectives, model and successes.
New Zealand Police works together with other justice agencies to achieve shared goals for the criminal justice system. The Criminal Justice Strategic Intent 2018 Four-Year Plan outlines the criminal justice sector’s purpose, priorities and focus areas.
The NZ Police annual independent Workplace Survey helps provide valuable insight into the climate of our organisation. It has provided a focus for discussion around the perceptions and opinions of staff across a range of areas and issues.
The survey is voluntary and invites all Police employees to provide their feedback on a range of key organisation and workplace features.
As an organisation, level of engagement has become an important performance measure, which is being tracked along with our focus on prevention activities and crime reduction, support for victims and contribution to Justice Sector performance. In addition to providing Police with a valuable opportunity to assess current levels of employee engagement, it allows for internal measurement of the progress we have made over the past few years, as well as comparison with the performance of other organisations within the state sector.
Attached are the results of the 2017 NZ Police Workplace Survey. This includes our overall organisational results, followed by individual service centre and district results.
