The Methamphetamine in New Zealand Research Programme was established by Police in February 2020 in response to, and with the need to evidence the significant harm caused by methamphetamine. The research is supported and guided by a Steering Group with representatives from government agencies, non-government organisations (including the New Zealand Drug Foundation), universities and Iwi (Tūhoe) who have influence over, and/or a substantial interest in methamphetamine harm reduction.

This chapter outlines the places, positions, and occasions in which flags must be flown on a flagpole at Police premises.

The ‘Exhibit and property management’ chapter details procedures for handling and managing property coming into Police possession, including: exhibits; found property; property for safekeeping where ownership is unknown at the time or is in dispute; detained persons’ property; deceased persons’ property; any other property as directed by the District Commander. Some parts of this chapter have been considered not appropriate for release and, if requested, would be withheld under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act).
