The prior year information in the Summary of Financial Activity table has been restated to reflect the current Vote structure.

Between 2020/21 and 2023/24, Departmental appropriations will decrease by $52.525 million (2.5%).

The decrease largely relates to:

  • 2019-21 Road Safety Partnership Programme $62.219 million - funding approved over the three-year term of programme to 2020/21 only
  • APEC 21 Security Programme $22.751 million - time limited funding up to 2021/22, and
  • Ensuring Safe, Consistent and Effective Responses to Family Violence in every community $19.250 million - lower funding profile in outer years.

These were partially offset by Striving Towards 1800 new Police $73.500 million - funding towards the 2017 New Zealand Labour Party and New Zealand First Coalition Agreement goal to "Strive Towards adding 1800 new Police Officers over three years and commit to a serious focus on combatting organized crime and drugs".

Departmental appropriations increased by $421.803 million (26.9%) between 2015/16 to 2019/20.

This was mainly due to:

  • Safe, Confident and Resilient Communities: Investment in Policing $108.616 million
  • Police Constabulary and Employee Bargaining $77.621 million
  • Road Safety Programme $62.502 million
  • Striving Towards 1800 New Police $56.700 million
  • funding approved in Budget 2015 and Budget 2016 for increased personnel costs $45.300 million
  • implementation of the Firearms Buy-Back Scheme $18.013 million
  • increased administration costs for firearms buy-back $13.400 million
  • Ensuring Safe, Consistent and Effective Responses to Family Violence in Every Community $17.468 million, and
  • Radio Assurance - Ensure the Operation of Emergency Services Critical Communications Radio Networks $10.001 million.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation

This appropriation will increase by $94.109 million (5.8%) to $1,706.511 million for 2020/21.

The increase mainly relates to:

  • higher funding in 2020/21 for Police Constabulary and Employee Bargaining $39.734 million
  • higher funding in 2020/21 for Safe, Confident and Resilient Communities: Investment in Policing $28.311 million
  • higher funding in 2020/21 for Striving Towards 1800 New Police $23.221 million
  • an expense transfer of $6.238 million from 2019/20 to 2020/21 for the Next Generation Critical Communications (NGCC) programme
  • an expense transfer of $6.236 million from 2019/20 to 2020/21 for the APEC21 Security Programme, and
  • an expense transfer of $3.089 million from 2019/20 to 2020/21 for the Burglary Target Hardening Project.

These are partially offset by:

  • one-off funding of $18.013 million in 2019/20 for Implementation of the Firearms Buy-Back Scheme
  • one-off funding of $13.400 million in 2019/20 to meet increased administration costs for firearms buy-back, and
  • lower funding by $7.110 million in 2020/21 for Radio Assurance - Ensure the Operation of Emergency Services Critical Communications Radio Networks.
