Q

Explain EFFECTIVE PARTNERSHIPS?

A
  • Effective partnerships:

. Police is uniquely placed to help other government agencies implement the social investment approach as “facilitators” and “connectors”.

. Maori make up a disproportionate number of both offenders and victims, more than any other ethnicity.

. We MUST make full use of opportunities to enlist the support of our partner agencies, through interagency ‘Tasking and Coordination’, to deploy our combined resources to beat demand.

Q

Explanation for “Drivers of Demand”?

A
  • The drivers of demand remain our focus.
  • The change from drivers of crime to drivers of demand acknowledges that a large proportion of Police work involves responding to demand that is not necessarily criminal but which frequently offers OPPORTUNITIES FOR PREVENTING CRIME AND WIDER HARM in our communities.

Q

Explanation for Families (Whanau)

A
  • Vulnerable and dysfunctional families take up an increasing amount of Police time and generate significant “service demand” which is not reflected in the crime figures.
    . We MUST continue to support and protect these whanau, lifting the veil of secrecy around family harm and child abuse in order to stop it, and exposing familial organized crime groups to prevent intergenerational cycles of harm.
  • Family harm may be the “foot in the door” for Police.
