Te Huringa o Te Tai
Strategic Awareness
What is the first pou of Te Huringa o Te Tai?
Pou Mataara
Our people and their mind-set
Continued focus on building our people, their skills, knowledge, mind-set and performance.
Adopting/applying a Te Ao Maori view by aligning Our Values with Maori values will ensure culturally responsive initiatives and programs which restore and strengthen the wellbeing of individuals, whanau and communities.
Strategic Awareness
What is the second pou of Te Huringa o Te Tai?
Pou Mataaho
Effective initiatives and improved practice
Working with Iwi. Maori have greater strategic presence and involvement at all levels.
Research suggests that investment in Maori-led approaches are more effective than programmes designed by non-Maori.
Take every opportunity to prevent harm:
Act more proactively to keep Maori from entering the justice system and, for those who do have contact with the system, stop them coming back.
Strategic Awareness
What is the third pou of Te Huringa o Te Tai?
Pou Hourua
Effective partnerships
Maori need to be acknowledged as treaty partners, rather than stakeholders. All levels of Maori community need to be involved in designing and planning and delivery. However it’s important to acknowledge the resource imbalance between Maori and the Crown; we need to ensure that our partners have the necessary capacity and capability to participate.
Investment in Iwi Maori partnerships:
Te Huringa o Te Tai encourages investment in Maori and is focused on the positive attributes of a person or a group.
We must be willing to share decision-making and be comfortable leading from behind.
Everyone taking responsibility:
We are all responsible for our decisions, interactions, commitment to learning and building upon success.
We need to change together with iwi, whanau and our partners.
Strategic Awareness
How we do it:
Our Priorities
What’s the reason that the Commissioner has set the three priorities?
To help Police achieve success for our organisation and our communities.
They focus on creating the culture we want, understanding and delivering the services ore communities need, and getting better outcomes through working with out partners. These priorities will drive how we continue to evolve as an organisation.
Strategic Awareness
Prevention First
What are the three key outcomes that the Prevention First model is designed to support and enhance?
1) prevent crime and victimisation
2) target and catch offenders
3) deliver a more responsive Police service (Q)
At the centre of our approach are structures, processes and policies that direct more resources to activities that prevent further harm, are explicitly victim focused, and that align with our purpose to ‘Be safe, Feel safe’.
Strategic Awareness
Prevention First
What is the Prevention First mindset?
Taking every opportunity to prevent harm.
This applies across all of Our Business, Our Police High Performance Framework guides us in how to apply this in every aspect of what we do.
Together, they will enable us to achieve our desired outcomes.
To make New Zealand ‘the safest country’, we must continue to embed Prevention First as our operating model and continue to work closely with other agencies to deliver the best service we can to keep people safe.
Strategic Awareness
Prevention First
What are the three core components of the Prevention First model?
These are the three things at the tips of the triangle. The middle of the triangle has “People” in an orange circle.
1) Deploy to beat demand
2) Target the drivers of demand
3) Mindset: taking every opportunity to prevent harm
This puts people - victims, offenders, our staff - at the centre.
Strategic Awareness
Prevention First
Effective partnerships
We must build strong relationships of trust and confidence in each other with Iwi Maori, our communities and out partner agencies so that we can share information and implement collaborative approaches.
Police is uniquely placed to help other government agencies implement the social investment approach as ‘facilitators’ and ‘ connectors’.
We need to work together with other agencies, service providers and community, particularly Maori, Pacific and ethnic groups, in finding solutions that address the underlying causes of social harm.
We must make full use of opportunities to enlist the support of our partner agencies, through interagency Tasking & Coordination, to deploy our combined resources to beat demand.
