Date Published:

Prevention First is the operating strategy for New Zealand Police that places prevention at the forefront of our organisation and people at the very centre.
It is a balanced approach which uses intelligence, enforcement and alternative ways of resolving cases enabling us to better understand and respond to the drivers of crime.
The strategy focuses on targeted policing to reduce offending and victimisation and aims to reduce reported crime with a target of 13% by 2014/2015; and reduce the number of cases referred to the Justice Sector pipeline with a target of 19% by 2014/2015.
