Area Policing Plan 2004 / 2005 - New Zealand Police

OUR ACTIONS(2004/05)
2004/2005 is to be regarded as year one for the purpose of this plan. From July 2003 Palmerston
North Police have been working on a number of strategies to improve police/community capability and
curb the level of reported crime in the following categories.
Burglary (With a major emphasis on house burglary)
Theft ex Vehicle
Public Place violence and disorder offending
Liquor licensing
Family violence co-ordination and repeat victimisation
Organised Crime
Road safety delivery
Building Youth Services capability and partnerships.
Continuous improvement in Intel services
It is intended that Palmerston North Police provide continuity with existing strategies for the
2004/05 year as these categories (above) of offending are regarded as the most invasive of
crimes and (or) offending and are included to the behaviours of the majority of our offenders.
Several of the categories require significant resource commitment, so reducing offending in
these categories is essential to convert reactive Police time to proactive activity.
The following pages provide specific actions and measures relating to each of these categories. The
documented strategic or tactical options are (to a degree) generic and do not represent all actions that
are considered and included to local action plans. 5
5 Action planning is to be used within Palmerston North City as a means of documenting actions, assignment of
responsibility and the setting of timelines and review dates for specific areas of attention.
