- Safe homes means families free from violence; abuse and neglect. It means preventing burglary and other threats to the places where people should always feel safe. - Safe Roads
- Safe Roads means working with our partners to prevent death and injury resulting from crashes so that everyone who leaves home in the morning can return safely at the end of the day. - Safe Communities
- Safe communities means that people are safe and feel safe wherever they go and whatever they do. It means safe public spaces where businesses, social gatherings and entertainment can be enjoyed without fear of crime or harm.

- The Road Safety Partnership Programme was developed to directly contribute to achieving the target of a 40% reduction in road deaths and serious injuries over ten years.
- The programme focuses road policing activity on the high-risk behaviours of restraints, impairment, distraction, and speed (RIDS). A total of 75% of the investment in this programme is targeted to these areas.
Explain “Whole Police approach” perspective in relation to Road to Zero strategy?
Clue: 3x provided
- We will approach road safety from a ‘whole of Police’ perspective, recognizing that:
1. Some road safety risks have their genesis in other areas - organized crime, family violence, alcohol harm, and youth
2. Road safety is achieved through more than enforcement alone, and requires a strong focus on prevention activities to ensure we achieve our goals alongside our road safety partners
3. Success in reducing trauma on New Zealand roads relies heavily on understanding and deploying to risk, and a genuine whole of Police approach. - All Police officers will conduct road policing enforcement and undertake prevention activities.
