Statements of case to renew designated terrorist entities July 2017
Date Published:
July 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.
Professional Conduct Statistics (June 2017)
Date Published:
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:
- The type of employee
- The type of allegation
- Combinations of the above
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.

New Zealand Police Workplace Survey results 2017
Date Published:
June 2017
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.

The Bail (Drug and Alcohol) Amendment Act 2016
Date Published:
May 2017
The Bail (Drug and Alcohol) Amendment Act 2016 amended the Bail Act 2000 from 16th May 2017. These amendments introduced the imposition of drug or alcohol abstinence conditions on those applying for Court bail, as well as the ability to test and monitor those on bail with drug or alcohol conditions. Outcomes sought from these amendments are to ensure people on bail comply with bail conditions, thereby reducing offending, reducing victimisation, and providing a better health outcome for people on bail.
Pursuant to section 73AA of the Act, the Commissioner has made rules prescribing types of testing, procedures for testing, and specifying how often testing can be carried out. Furthermore, in compliance with section 73AAC of the Act, the Commissioners rules are hereby published on this internet site for public inspection.
Cost Recovery - Regulatory Impact Statement on Regulations
Date Published:
May 2017
This Regulatory Impact Statement (RIS) has been prepared by New Zealand Police.
It provides an analysis of options for applying cost recovery so that the Police Vetting Service can manage volume risk and become largely self-sustaining.
The analysis in this RIS focuses on:
- how different waivers could keep Police’s and agencies’ costs to a minimum, reduce administrative complexity, and increase community acceptability of cost recovery; and
- the policy rationale for any wider exemptions from charging for Police vetting.
