Firearms Baseline Surveys

In April and March 2022, Police conducted two Firearms Baseline Surveys to assess internal arms staff satisfaction and external public and firearms licence holders trust and confidence in firearms licensing controls. The survey results provide a baseline measure of public trust and confidence in our regulatory management of firearms licensing control in the community. These Surveys were undertaken to meet Recommendation 22(b) of the Royal Commission of Inquiry into the Terrorist Attack on Christchurch masjidian on 15 March 2019.
