Planning for more Police in Counties Manukau, 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.

Evaluation of DARE to make a Choice

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.

Appendices

Appendix One - Terms of Reference

The Commissioner’s Terms of Reference for the review were to:

a. Examine New Zealand Police Communication Centre practice and compare with stated service delivery aims and objectives.

b. Review and provide recommendations on:

Comments

358. The Review Panel identifies throughout this report that there are issues with the CCSC that need to be addressed and makes recommendations to deal with them. The recommendations made are not exhaustive and deliberately not overly prescriptive but offer guidance for the future direction of New Zealand Police communications.

Implementation

352. New Zealand Police will need to consider what short, medium and long term actions are required and consolidate the recommendations in this report with work already underway relating to the Communications Centres.

353. An implementation plan should be devised to outline what needs to be done now (within six months), including the priority items to develop better service and enable a sustainable operation pending the implementation of mid to long term actions which will be more strategic in nature.

Relationships

337. The CCSC has a variety of stakeholder groups it interacts with. These include Police Districts, other government departments, community groups and the public. The strength of the relationships with these stakeholders varies considerably.

338. Relationships with Police Districts at the senior level are generally good. However, relationships with front-line police are not as good although this varies across the country.
