New Zealand Police is the lead agency responsible for reducing crime and enhancing community safety. We work in partnership with iwi, communities, businesses, individual, and other public sector agencies to achieve our vision to have the trust and confidence of all.

Our tohu is a distinctive mark that symbolises New Zealand Police’s commitment to Māori and the Treaty of Waitangi. It originates from the whakatauākī / proverb given to the New Zealand Police by Ngāti Porou iwi leader Dr Apirana Mahuika, who was a member of the Commissioner’s Māori Focus Forum. The design depicts ‘Ngaru’, the waves of time, and ‘Haere Whakamua’, a vehicle towards common goals.

The words of the whakatauākī inspire courage in the face of adversity and thereby hint at the enormity of the task with which Police face. These words inspirationally capture Dr Mahuika’s vision for a new relationship between Māori and Police.

**Mō te tūnga | About the role**

Evidence-Based Policing (EBP) is about using information, crime-science and problem-solving methods to ensure that proven approaches and tactics inform our choices, are seen in the results, and provide confidence that what we do works.
EBP presents an opportunity for New Zealand Police to embed an evidence base into all of our operations.

The Director EBP role will lead a highly specialised, multi-disciplinary team within a dynamic and collaborative environment.

A sharp customer service focus is paramount, ensuring the needs and opportunities at the front line are at the heart of EBP as well as the ability to building key relationships at senior levels both internally and with external stakeholders.

- Manaakitanga, building open and trusting relationships with all.
- Lead engagement with the organisation’s kaupapa.
- Lead and develop a high performing team that encourages a positive organisational culture.
- Lead a collegial, collaborative approach to how we work.
