Commissioner of Police, New Zealand Police
2 months ago
Operating across twelve Police districts and nearly 400 locations nationwide, New Zealand Police (Police) is the government's lead agency responsible for preventing crime and enhancing community safety.
Police work in a dynamic environment and hold responsibilities across law enforcement, keeping the peace, crime prevention, national security, emergency management and community support and reassurance. Working in partnership with individuals, communities, businesses, and other public sector agencies, Police are focused on ensuring that everybody can be safe and feel safe in New Zealand.
Restoring law and order and ensuring the safety of New Zealanders is a key Government priority. Clear expectations have been set for Police to concentrate on core policing activities and increase visibility in communities. Police are also expected to play a key role in achieving the Government's targets of reducing violent crime and child and youth offending.
We are looking for a decisive and strategic leader to step into the role of Commissioner of Police, to lead and manage the organisation across its broad range of roles and functions, and set a strategic direction that balances operational and system priorities.
The Commissioner of Police is appointed by the Governor-General, on the recommendation of the Prime Minister. The appointee must be able to obtain and maintain New Zealand Government Top Secret Special security clearance.
