Christchurch statistics

Date Published:

Family violence statistics for Christchurch Central, Northern and Southern Canterbury for the period September 2010 - May 2011 and the same period the previous year.

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.

Planning for more Police in Counties Manukau, 2009

Date Published: 
May 2009

Counties Manukau District (CMD) policing operates in a difficult and complex environment. Policing results on a wide range of key indicators are below the national average and Government has committed to providing 300 additional staff to the district. In recognition of this, the Deputy Commissioner: Operations has initiated a planning process to ensure Police management and staff are best placed to utilise the additional resources and deliver on the high expectations the public rightly have of their police. Once this report has been signed off by the Commissioner and Deputy Commissioner: Operations a Resourcing and Implementation Plan will be drafted for approval and action.

The project has adopted the view that the gap between supply and demand needs to be addressed with a three fold approach, namely by (a) increasing productivity (b) reducing demand and (c) the provision of additional staffing.

Evaluation of DARE to make a Choice

Date Published: 
July 2007

The Crime and Justice Research Centre (CJRC) carried out a new evaluation of the DARE to make a Choice (Choice) drug education programme. The evaluation was based on a ‘best practice’ approach outlined in a CJRC scoping study commissioned by NZ Police in 2005. The premise was that if the best practice principles are being met, it is reasonable to suppose this provides good indirect information of Choice’s likely effectiveness in meeting its aims and objectives.
