These stats don't seem to include the dog that was reported as having been fatally shot by police during the execution of a search warrant in November 2018: https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/1085620...

You may be interested to know that NZ Police have recently released more information regarding their use of force against animals. This includes the number of times they have used firearms against dogs since July 2010, though it is not broken down by whether or not a search warrant was being executed: https://fyi.org.nz/request/11239-tactica...
