Adjustments to the Summary of Financial Activity Table Due to Vote Restructuring

There have been no restructuring adjustments to prior year information in the Summary of Financial Activity table.

Between 2021/22 and 2024/25, Departmental appropriations will increase by $429,000 (0.02%).

The increase largely relates to Striving Towards 1800 new Police $33.400 million, which had higher funding profile in outer years for 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".

This was partially offset by time-limited funding for:

  • Effective Administration of the Arms Regulatory System - for meeting Police's obligations in regards to implementing recent legislative changes to the Arms Act and the ongoing improvement programme designed to meet public safety objectives and be a more effective regulator ($23.500 million)
  • Next Generation Critical Communications (NGCC) establish Emergency Services critical communications capability ($4.809 million), and
  • Managed Isolation and Quarantine ($4.150 million) to fund NZ Police's ongoing commitment to supporting the Managed Isolation and Quarantine element of the COVID-19 response without impacting upon frontline service delivery to the NZ public.

Departmental appropriations increased by $542.951 million (33.7%) between 2016/17 and 2020/21.

This was mainly due to:

  • Safe, Confident and Resilient Communities: Investment in Policing $136.927 million
  • Police Constabulary and Employee Bargaining $117.355 million
  • Striving Towards 1800 New Police $81.700 million
  • Road Safety Programme $62.219 million
  • COVID-19 Procurement of PPE and Cancellation of Annual Leave $53.822 million in 2020/21. The underspend from this initiative have been reprioritised for Constabulary Recruitment ($25.100 million) and Te Pae Oranga programme ($7.600 million)
  • funding approved in Budget 2016 for increased personnel costs $23.700 million
  • Ensuring Safe, Consistent and Effective Responses to Family Violence in Every Community $20.950 million, and
  • Effective Administration of the Arms Regulatory System $15.400 million.
