Police have been testing the model since November 2021 in the Northland, Counties Manukau, Waikato, and Central police districts and it will now be rolled out nationwide, adding almost 250 police staff to facilitate the shift. Police Commissioner Andrew Coster welcomed the model, saying it would better equip his officers for the “increasingly volatile” environment police were currently facing.
