1.3 - Analysis of Significant Trends

Between 2019/20 and 2022/23, Departmental Output Expenses will increase by $117.680 million (6.1%).

The increase largely relates to three significant funding packages:

  • Striving Towards 1800 New Police $103 million - funding towards the 2017 New Zealand Labour Party and New Zealand First Coalition Agreement goal to "Strive towards adding 1800 new Police officers over three years and commit to a serious focus on combatting organised crime and drugs".
  • Police Constabulary and Employee Bargaining $49.750 million - funding to support the settlement of two collective agreements: the Police Constabulary collective agreement and the Police Employee collective agreement.
  • Safe, Confident and Resilient Communities: Investment in Policing $30.875 million - a package of initiatives across the justice sector that will significantly improve policing services for all New Zealanders. This includes funding for an additional 880 sworn officers and 245 other employees.

Departmental Output Expense appropriations increased by $289.254 million (19.0%) between 2014/15 to 2018/19.

This was mainly due to:

  • new funding approved in Budget 2015 and Budget 2016 for increased personnel costs $116.580 million
  • Safe, Confident and Resilient Communities: Investment in Policing $78.396 million
  • Striving Towards 1800 New Police $38.600 million, and
  • Police Constabulary and Employee Bargaining $38.170 million.

Non-Departmental Other Expense appropriations increased by $145.013 million between 2014/15 to 2018/19. This is mainly due to a new appropriation in Budget 2019 for Firearms buy-back scheme.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation

This appropriation will decrease by $3.207 million (2.1%) to $152.974 million for 2019/20.

The decrease mainly relates to a one-off transfer in 2018/19 of $11.060 million from other appropriations to this appropriation in order to align resource requirements with demand and activities.

This is partially offset by:

  • higher funding in 2019/20 for Police Constabulary and Employee Bargaining $4.206 million
  • higher funding in 2019/20 for Safe, Confident and Resilient Communities: Investment in Policing $1.463 million, and
  • new funding in 2019/20 for Ensuring the Sustainability of the District Court by Appointing Additional District Court Judges $1.366 million.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation

This appropriation will increase by $29.153 million (13.8%) to $240.201 million for 2019/20.

The increase mainly relates to:

  • new funding in 2019/20 for implementation of the Firearms buy-back scheme $18.013 million
  • new funding in 2019/20 for Ensuring Safe, Consistent and Effective Responses to Family Violence in Every Community $9.642 million
  • higher funding in 2019/20 for Police Constabulary and Employee Bargaining $5.126 million
  • higher funding in 2019/20 for Striving Towards 1800 New Police $4.757 million

  • expense transfer of $1.053 million from 2018/19 to 2019/20 for Burglary Target Hardening Project.

These are partially offset by:

  • end of time limited funding for Integrated Safety Response initiatives in 2018/19 $6.901 million, and
  • one-off transfer in 2018/19 of $4.460 million from other appropriations to this appropriation in order to align resource requirements with demand and activities.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation

This appropriation will decrease by $9.685 million (2.8%) to $331.615 million for 2019/20. This is mainly due to new funding of $27.413 million in 2018/19 only for the 2018-21 Road Safety Partnership Programme.

This was partially offset by an expense transfer of $11.400 million from 2018/19 to 2019/20 ($5.700 million) and 2020/21 ($5.700 million) for Road Policing Special Projects.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation

This appropriation will increase by $9.548 million (5.1%) to $195.198 million for 2019/20.

The increase mainly relates to:

  • higher funding in 2019/20 for Police Constabulary and Employee Bargaining $4.608 million
  • higher funding in 2019/20 for Striving Towards 1800 New Police $3.993 million, and
  • higher funding in 2019/20 for Safe, Confident and Resilient Communities: Investment in Policing $2.887 million.

These are partially offset by one-off transfer in 2018/19 of $1.740 million from other appropriations to this appropriation in order to align resource requirements with demand and activities.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation

This appropriation will decrease by $823,000 (15.5%) to $4.488 million for 2019/20. This is due to one-off transfers of $940,000 in 2018/19 from other appropriations to this appropriation in order to align resource requirements with demand and activities.

This was partially offset by higher funding in 2019/20 for Police Constabulary and Employee Bargaining $114,000.
