Reports on Alcohol-related Calls and Offences in the North Island 2008-2012

Date Published: 
October 2013

The new Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012 states that when developing a draft or provisional Local Alcohol Policy, a Territorial Authority must consider a range of factors set out in the Act, including the nature and severity of the alcohol-related problems arising in the district. To that end, Police (along with Licensing Inspectors and Medical Officers of Health) must make reasonable efforts to give the Territorial Authority any relevant information they may hold.

These North Island reports analyse calls made by the public to police between 1 January 2008 and 31 December 2012 and fall into the categories are considered to be alcohol-related. They are presented visually in the attached maps by individual years. The calls do not include those initiated by Police (ie, officer-discovered contact with the Communications Centre) and exclude duplicate calls.

The method by which the calls have been analysed is detailed within the reports.

These reports are being made public in order to fully inform the discussion around Local Alcohol Policies.

Currently, Official Statistics on Recorded and Resolved offences are published every six months and police activities are published annually in the annual report. Police also publish a more current statistics of Monthly Statistical Indicators. The recent earthquakes in Canterbury have created a demand for more current statistics other than what is being published in the Monthly Statistical Indicators, particularly, Family Violence statistics.

To address this demand, New Zealand Police is publishing the following statistics on Family Violence for the three areas in Canterbury District; Christchurch Central, Northern Canterbury and Southern Canterbury. 

Please note these data are provisional and drawn from a dynamic operational database. They are subject to change as new information is continually recorded. Also, these statistics do not undergo the full quality assurance processes that are applied to official statistics. Therefore, these provisional data cannot reliably be compared with the official statistics

Date Published: 
May 2007

New Zealand Police have recently undertaken a review of pursuits in order to scrutinise existing practices and identify areas for further attention and improvement. The review is based on information recorded through the NZ Police Lotus Notes system. The Lotus Notes pursuit database was introduced in March/April 2004, prior to which time a more limited amount of information was collected through the older LES/Wanganui system.

The current analysis is based on a census of all recorded pursuits between 1 April 2004-30 April 2007 (inclusive). Therefore, all findings relates to the period April 2004-May 2007. April 2004 represents the first full month of Lotus Notes pursuit data, while April 2007 was the last full month of statistics available at the time of data collection.
