Responsibility

All New Zealanders are responsible for helping to detect and prevent attacks in crowded places. Everyone who works in, or uses, a crowded place should be aware of their surroundings and report suspicious or unusual behaviour to authorities.

In an emergency everyone should call 111

If the information is not time-critical, people can report suspicious or unusual behaviour by:

• completing a report at 105.police.govt.nz or calling New Zealand Police’s non-emergency number 105
• visiting their nearest Police station
• calling Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111

To report information of security concern, call the NZSIS on 0800 747 224  or use their Public Contribution Form.
