Many partnerships exist between central and local government agencies and community organisations that contribute directly or indirectly to reducing crime.
Central Government agencies such as NZ Police, Department of Corrections, Ministry of Social Development, Child Youth and Family, Ministry of Health and Ministry of Education have formed collaborative partnerships with community organisations and local level service providers, to achieve a range of outcomes. Many of these contribute directly or indirectly to reducing crime.
The Crime Prevention Unit facilitates partnerships around the country, between central and local government and communities, specifically to achieve local crime prevention and reduction outcomes. Key partners include the Crime Prevention Unit, Police and Local Government (local councils) with a variety of community organisations.
The nature of local partnership arrangements is changing as a result of a review of the existing partnership structure—the Safer Community Council Network.
See the Review of the Safer Community Council Network: Future Directions documents for more information on the findings and recommendations of the review.
Details on the CPU’s new local partnership arrangements will become available in July.
