Dear New Zealand Defence Force,

I am aware that a Regimental Patch exists for use within the New Zealand Army, however I've never publicly seen pictures or any information regarding what this role does within the NZDF.

1. What do Regimental Police do?

2. How long have they existed?

3. What powers do they hold?

4. Do they have any special uniform other than the patches? If so could an example such as a photo be provided?

Yours faithfully,

A. Mosley
