Safer communities together

New Zealand Police works with the community to make New Zealand safe and secure for its citizens. We seek to prevent crime, improve public security, and detect offenders. The unwavering commitment of NZ Police officers to provide service to the public helps in maintaining the law and order in the country. As a part of the NZ Police force, we are actively involved with the community to ensure that we address the grievances of the citizens.

Police in action

  1. At about 3:45 a.m. on November 8, six unknown males drove onto the forecourt of a service station in East Tamaki and attempted to break down the front doors with a metal pole. At the time, there was a male attendant present in the store. The attendant ran to the rear of the service station, locked himself in the back room, and activated the fog system. The males were unsuccessful in breaking the front glass and decamped in a vehicle. The matter is currently under investigation and the police are pursuing lines of enquiry.
