Proactive release of papers relating to Tactical Response Model
Nothing is more important to Police than the safety of our people and our communities across New Zealand. We cannot succeed in our vision to make New Zealand the safest country unless we are doing everything we can to keep our staff and communities safe, and do that in a style of policing that New Zealanders expect and deserve.
Police has engaged with communities of interest and staff around their concerns and ideas to improve safety. This engagement has informed the development of a new tactical response model which is being trialled in four districts. This model is designed around enhancing frontline training; improving frontline access to specialist capability, and strengthening risk-based deployment and technology.
The following papers have been produced by New Zealand Police as part of the Tactical Response Model. Further papers will added to this site over the next few months.
