1.3 - Analysis of Significant Trends#
Departmental Output Expenses will reduce by $46.800 million between 2013/14 and 2017/18.
Revenue Crown decreases over this period by $41.800 million mainly owing to:
- one-off funding in 2013/14 through the retention of the prior year underspend
- one-off Justice Sector funding in 2013/14 to uplift operational capability
- a one-off capital to operating swap in 2013/14
- cessation of Justice Sector funding allocated in 2013/14 for the restructuring of New Zealand Police's (NZ Police's) Human Resources (HR) and Finance functions
- cessation of funding for the implementation plan of the Criminal Procedure Act 2011 and Criminal Procedure Implementation (Reform and Modernisation) Bill
- cessation of funding for Criminal Proceeds (Recovery) Act 2009 for the South China Project, the roll out of Cash Search Dog Training programme and the Recovery of Legal Costs for Civil Actions. These initiatives enhance law enforcement, help break the methamphetamine supply chain and expand alcohol and drug treatment
- transition of Electronic Monitored (EM) Bail to Vote Corrections
- cessation of a one-off transfer from Ministry of Social Development in 2013/14 to undertake implementation work on the Child Harm Prevention Orders, and
- funding transferred to Vote Courts relating to the management of the body removal process effective from 1 November 2013.
Revenue Other decreases over this period by $5 million owing to the completion of the deployment mission to Solomon Islands and the consequent discontinuation of funding from Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
Over the last five years, increased funding to Vote Police has largely been directed to:
- additional staff
- additional capital charge owing to an increase in rate from 7.5% to 8%
- Independent Police Conduct Authority
- Criminal Procedure Implementation (Reform and Modernisation) Bill, and
- Road Safety Programme Initiatives - SMART Technology and Mobility Expansion.
In 2013/14, $8.370 million of capital was handed back to the Crown through a Capital to Operating swap to meet the transition costs of Enterprise Services and other Information and Communication Technology initiatives.
Over the last five years, the major factors that have influenced the level of capital contributions were:
- developing infrastructure to support increased staff numbers
- implementing a digital radio network in Auckland, Wellington and Canterbury
- enhancing Police security infrastructure
- upgrading and replacing Police breath testing equipment in line with government's policy of lower blood alcohol
- road policing devices: hand-held evidential breath testing devices, oral fluid drug testing devices, portable scales, automatic number plate recognition and e-ticketing devices
- infrastructure to reduce the waiting time in Auckland criminal courts
- changing systems to deliver the Criminal Procedure (Reform and Modernisation) Bill, and
- implementation of the Phase 1 of the Electronic Operating Model: Police Charges and Judicial Decisions.

- one-off Justice Sector funding in 2013/14 to uplift operational capability that was agreed for 2013/14 only.
These increases were partly offset by new funding for increases to workforce vetting as a result of the Vulnerable Children Bill.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation
The Multi Class Output Appropriation (MCOA) of Policy Advice and Ministerial Services were transitioned into Multi-Category Appropriation (MCA) Policy Advice and Ministerial Services in 2014/15 as a consequence of the 2013 Amendment to the Public Finance Act. The funds previously appropriated to MCOA have now been transferred into this MCA.
The decrease in the funding is mainly owing to:
- cessation of Justice Sector funding for NZ Police's Restructure of HR and Finance functions, and
- a one-off capital to operating swap in 2013/14 for the transition costs of Enterprise Services and essential initiatives of the Communication and Information Technology Delivery Plan.
