Canterbury District Change Proposal 28 7 2.pdf

NZ Police Canterbury District
Revised Change Proposal
July 2017
Confidential - not for further distribution outside of NZ Police

Recap of Background
In 2011 the Canterbury District commenced the implementation of the Prevention First and Policing Excellence
strategies.
A major component of the Prevention First strategy within the Christchurch Metro Area was the initiative to
establish a seven PST response/prevention model. The expanded PST model was made possible by the
injection of 50 extra staff into Christchurch to address the immediate post-earthquake environment. The extra
staff were for two years only with the expectation that the District would fund the increased PST model from
within its own numbers.
The establishment of District Command Centres (DCC), Criminal Justice Support Units (CJSU) and Investigation
Support Units (ISU) were also requirements under Policing Excellence. These workgroups were to be funded
from within the District’s current staff numbers. The actual numbers required for these new workgroups wasn’t
identified. A resourcing model and organisational structure was designed and partially adopted in 2012. It
differed significantly from the national model and relied on extra staffing to establish these new workgroups.
Our current resourcing model does not depict the staffing restraints of 869 sworn and 104 employee positions.
We have recently reviewed how the Canterbury District is currently resourced and how we are delivering our
business and as a result are proposing changes. We are now seeking your feedback to these changes.

Recap of Rationale
This change proposal is brought about by Canterbury District’s desire to:
• Align its people resource with funded staffing levels across the various divisions that will enable the
Canterbury District to deliver expected services.
• Develop a resourcing model which will support Policing Excellence the Future (PEtF), the Policing High
Performance Framework and longer term Prevention First initiatives.
• Create a resourcing model that reflects the changed Canterbury environment post the 2011 earthquakes and
the fast growing rural sector.

proposed that efficiencies can be gained minimising duplication of tasks and thereby proposing consolidation to one role.

with support from other dayshift staff when required.

work group.

The ISU Sergeant is proposed to report to the District Support Manager to ensure efficient span of controls within this
work group.
