A review into the New Zealand Police has found that an “integrity” reset is “urgently” needed, while police are also struggling to keep up with an evolving crime environment.
Conducted by the Public Service Commission, the review, released on Thursday, found that to meet public and internal expectations, the New Zealand Police must tackle three major challenges over the next five years.
These challenges are to rebuild integrity; address persistent traditional crime while adapting to increasingly complex, digital, and transnational threats; and build their corporate performance in the face of ongoing fiscal pressures.
Rebuilding the integrity of the police was listed as a “mission-critical” challenge following a 2025 Independent Police Conduct Authority (IPCA) report that revealed integrity failings across a small group of senior individuals.
