This report presents a summary of findings from formative evaluation of Neighbourhood Policing Teams (NPTs) in Counties Manukau District. The focus of this formative evaluation has been on the development of the NPT approach in Counties Manukau District and the establishment of the Mangere South, Papakura East, Homai and Takanini NPTs.
It is intended that these findings be used to refine the role and function of the NPTs in Counties Manukau District and inform the design requirements and implementation of teams in other districts.
The reports relating to the Crimes (Substituted Section 59) Amendment Act 2007 detail results from the reviews of relevant Police activity since enactment of the Act.
Police safety orders (PSOs) were introduced by the Domestic Violence Amendment Act 2009 and provided the New Zealand Police with the power to issue and serve PSOs from 1 July 2010. This followed the introduction of similar orders in other jurisdictions, including Australia.
PSOs are a significant development in the law relating to family violence, premised on early intervention and protection for victims of family violence. PSOs enable the Police to provide immediate protection to victims of family violence.
