Canterbury Police release redesign proposal
Canterbury Police has been consulting internally with staff on a proposal to redesign its structure, says Canterbury District Commander Superintendent Tony Hill.
"Our goal is to deliver a better service to our communities by boosting core policing services and strengthening our ability to meet demand, now and in the future.
We are focused on the safety of our communities and our Police team. As the proposal concerns changes that directly impact our staff, we have an obligation to consult with them first. We also acknowledge the importance of listening to our communities.
In a departure from our normal process in relation to operational decision-making, we are now sharing an external version of the proposal and inviting feedback from the public.
We haven’t reviewed our structure since 2017 and we want to get it right. We're not content to keep doing things the way we always have when we believe we can do better.
I stress that this is a proposal and no decisions have been made. I will be paying close attention to the feedback as it comes in."
If you would like to provide feedback on the proposed changes, please email canterbury.review@police.govt.nz
Feedback will be accepted up until 5pm, Monday 18 August.
The redesign proposal is available here.
Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲
The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.
We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?
