About the role

Having recognised the need to make improvements in how we regulate and administer the Arms Act Police have been on a multi-year change journey.

Changes to the Arms Act, a review of the 2019 firearms buy-back by the Office of the Auditor General and recommendations from the Royal Commission of Inquiry after the attacks in Christchurch on 15 March 2019 have all contributed to understanding our pathway going forward.
