INTRODUCTION

(i) Terms Of Reference 1. On 6 April 1998 the Minister of Police, the Hon Jack Elder, announced a review of the administrative and Management Structures of the New Zealand Police. The key objectives of the review were to: optimise the New Zealand Police's contribution to the Governments public safety objectives; and ensure the most cost effective administrative and management structures for the New Zealand Police in achieving the Government's public safety (including statutory obligations), without compromising front line capability. (ii) How the Review was Conducted 2. The structure of this preliminary draft report broadly reflects how the review was conducted. The first stage was to further develop the issues arising from these Terms of Reference, and this is summarised in section B. Section C outlines relevant background, and section D the legislative framework. The next stage was to analyse the issues under the headings of: - Governance - Organisational Structure - Training - Outsourcing - Property Management Potential savings are then summarised. 3. Each component of the review has been conducted in the context of the other components and of the overall review. In this, the review has been guided by Waterman's model,1 commonly referred to as "McKinsey's 7-S Framework" - that the success and effectiveness of organisational change depends on the relationship between structure, strategy, systems, style, skills, staff and "superordinate goals" (values). (iii) Consultation on this Report 4. This preliminary draft report includes tentative conclusions about improvements in governance and management structures, and about administration. The review team welcomes comment on both the scope and nature of the issues which have been analysed, and on the tentative proposals for change: 5. The process and timeframe for receiving comment is set out in the final section. The results of this consultation process, including any modifications to the proposals, will be incorporated in the final report to the Government.
