Kia ora New Zealand Police,

Crime statistics in Auckland City over the last five calendar years (including 2025 if possible) broken down by offense type (assault, dangerous driving, etc), location by district (Avondale, Auckland Central, etc) as well as time of day committed if available.

In addition, please provide information about the Police's definition of "alcohol-related".
