Police operates 24-hours a day in a complex environment. With nearly 12,000 staff, we function from 371 community-based police stations, operate on land, sea and air, and respond to over 600,000 emergency calls every year.

The functions of Police include:

• keeping the peace
• maintaining public safety
• law enforcement
• crime prevention
• community support and reassurance
• national security
• participation in policing activities outside New Zealand
• emergency management.

In carrying out these functions, Police relies on a range of partner organisations, as well as the efforts of individuals, families and communities. Policing is delivered within a networked and cooperative environment, with significant contributions from local authorities, the private security industry, Maori and Pacific wardens and members of the public to name a few.
