1.3 - Analysis of Significant Trends#
Between 2017/18 and 2020/21, Departmental Output Expenses will increase by $92.276 million (5.6%).
The increase largely relates to:
- Safe, Confident and Resilient Communities: Investment in Policing $91.468 million - a package of initiatives across the justice sector that will significantly improve policing services for all New Zealanders. This includes funding for an additional 880 sworn officers and 245 non-sworn employees, and
- new funding to give effect to the policy decisions on the Reform of Family Violence Law $7.997 million.
These are partially offset by:
- time limited funding for various Justice Sector Fund initiatives $2.196 million
- time limited funding for Iwi/Community Panels $2.730 million
- completion of the deployment missions; Timor-Leste community policing support programme $1.166 million and Tonga police development programme $750,000 and the consequent discontinuation of funding from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade over this period, and
- new funding for Next Generation Radio Network $1.230 million.
Departmental Output Expenses increased by $127.292 million (8.6%) between 2012/13 to 2016/17, mainly due to new funding for increased personnel costs $92.949 million and the Road Policing Programme $27.300 million.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation
This appropriation will decrease by $710,000 (0.5%) to $136.657 million for 2017/18.
The decrease mainly relates to:
- one-off transfer in 2016/17 of $4.943 million from other appropriations to this appropriation in order to align resource requirements with demand and activities
- reductions in capital charge rate with a corresponding decrease in this appropriation by $438,000, and
- expense transfers from 2015/16 to 2016/17 for the HRMIS project $321,000 and the Child Protection Offender Register and Risk Management Framework projects $167,000.
These are partially offset by:
- new funding for Safe, Confident and Resilient Communities: Investment in Policing $2.666 million, and
- increased funding in 2017/18 for Employment Costs $2.533 million.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation#
This appropriation will increase by $3.024 million (1.9%) to $165.959 million in 2017/18. The increase mainly relates to:
- new funding for Safe, Confident and Resilient Communities: Investment in Policing $5.133 million
- one-off transfer in 2016/17 of $3.789 million to other appropriations in order to align resource requirements with demand and activities, and
- increased funding in 2017/18 for Employment Costs $2.776 million.
These are partially offset by:
- cessation of funding from MFAT for Solomon Islands deployment $4.460 million
- reductions in capital charge rate with a corresponding decrease in this appropriation by $485,000, and
- changes in funding profile for various initiatives, as shown in the Current and Past Policy Initiatives table above.
