New Zealand Police delivers services that ensure people can be safe and feel safe in their homes, on our roads and in their communities. Police operate 24 hours a day in a complex environment, actively targeting and preventing crime and harm. With around 15,000 staff, the New Zealand Police works from urban and rural stations and larger policing hubs.
While crashes on our road continue to be a leading cause of death, we have provisionally seen 340 road-related deaths in 2023, which was down 34 from 2022.
