• In the last year Constabulary female attrition was 4.1%, which is actually slightly lower than the 4.2% for males.  At that attrition rate the average expected service is 23 years for women and 22 for men.
  
  Note for media: Attrition rate is simply the proportion of our staff who leave in a year, regardless of reason for leaving or length of service so it could include someone who left after 5 months and someone who retired after 50 years. The Police rate is amongst the lowest of any large employer in New Zealand.
   
• The current average service for Female Constabulary employees is 11.4 years, and this is much lower than it would be otherwise as there has been a massive growth in female numbers in recent years.
• In comparison, the current average length of service for a male constabulary officer is about 15 years. (A word of warning, this difference is caused by the large growth in female numbers in recent years, meaning there are a whole lot more women with quite small service levels bringing the average down.  It is not caused by differences in attrition level meaning that women are leaving earlier.)
• In 2015 34 percent of all recruits starting at RNZPC were women, this is the first time woman have ever been over a third of recruits.
• Amongst our Constabulary Pacific workforce we are currently at about 15% women, which is a bit lower than the 19% rate for the overall Constabulary workforce.
