Ngā mihi.

I hope everyone has had a happy new year and thanks to those who stayed safe and looked out for one another.

It’s been a busy holiday season for �ٴ��, with a number of major events attended across the country.

This coming year is expected to be another significant one as we continue to work towards our mission for New Zealand to be the safest country.

�ٴ�� not moving to routine arming

�ٴ�� is not moving to routine arming of its frontline staff.

You will be aware that the issue of routine carriage of firearms has been subject to a range of media commentary over the weekend.

The safety of our staff and the public will always be paramount but I do not believe routine arming is the right path for our organisation.

The current debate follows a decision by Canterbury District Commander Superintendent John Price last Thursday for level one responders in Canterbury to carry firearms during the search for a high-risk offender.

Great work towards keeping communities safe

Operation Dynamo – uncovering ten years of methamphetamine production

Congratulations to the National Clandestine Laboratory Response Team and their investigation into the illicit possession and supply of the precursor material, hypophosphorous acid.

Hypophosphorous acid has no known household use and is an extremely dangerous product.

Family Harm continues to remain a significant issue for far too many New Zealanders.

�ٴ�� - Delivering the best service

smcb08 — Mon, 16 Apr 2018 02:26:36 +0000

�ٴ�� is embarking on a programme of work to transform our service to the public.

We aspire to be the world’s safest country and we have a goal of achieving 90 percent trust, confidence and citizen satisfaction by 2021. Our current level of trust and confidence sits at 78 percent, high by some standards, but we have work to do to get to 90 percent.

Our courageous Police recruits

lcex80 — Wed, 11 Apr 2018 03:41:44 +0000

I read with concern today a media report questioning the quality of Police recruits.

Let me be very clear that I am extremely proud of our �ٴ�� recruits. I meet them at The Royal �ٴ�� College, see them at work in districts and I am constantly impressed by them. I never wonder if they have enough courage to do this job. They have put their hands up to keep the public safe and, at times, to put themselves in harm’s way in order to do that. I hope all New Zealanders are as proud of them as I am.
