Request for information 
Thank you for your Official Information Act 1982 (OIA) request of 29 June 2023, in which 
you requested: 
Please provide the approved RAT (broken down into sworn constabulary, 
authorised officer and non-sworn staff) for each Police District and Area for 
the years 2017 to 2023 inclusive. 
The Resource Al ocation Target (RAT) for the New Zealand Police financial years 2016-
2023 by Constabulary/Authorised Officers and Employees, Districts and Service Groups, 
is shown in the tables attached below.  
Also included is the RAT for financial year 2023-24 which is the first time Authorised 
Officers have been separated from Constabulary.   
Please note that as part of its commitment to openness and transparency, Police 
proactively releases some information and documents that may be of interest to the 
public. An anonymised version of this response may be publicly released on the New 
Zealand Police website. 
I trust this fulfils your request. 
Nāku noa, nā
