Foreword
It is my pleasure to present the New Zealand Police (Police) Road Policing Programme (RPP) for 2007/08. As Commissioner of Police, road policing is a priority for me. In 2006 we had the lowest road toll in over 40 years, with 390 road deaths. While this was a signifi cant achievement, it is important that Police, our road safety partners and the community continue to focus on road safety in order to achieve further reductions in the road toll.
This programme sets out the activities we will undertake to support the Government's Road Safety to 2010 goals. These goals are to have fewer than 300 deaths, 2,200 hospitalisations for no longer than one day and 1,400 hospitalisations for no longer than three days in the twelve months ending 31 December 2010. The activities will also contribute to the wider New Zealand Transport Strategy objectives by addressing a range of safety, social, economic and environmental outcomes.
Police's Road Policing Strategy to 2010 sets out the road policing focus for the next four years as we work towards playing our part in reducing road trauma. Road policing will support Police's three strategic goals of community reassurance, policing with confi dence and organisational development. Enforcement activity will target the `fatal fi ve' areas of speed, drink/drug driving, restraints, dangerous/careless driving and high-risk drivers.
During this year, Police will continue to support the general deterrence model for road policing to ensure all motorists play their part in making our roads safer, and will especially target drink driving and urban speed enforcement through initiatives such as expanding the speed camera programme and appointing an additional Traffi c Alcohol Group for the pan-Auckland area.
Police will also support the objectives of the National Road Safety Committee by developing and implementing initiatives for target areas. These will include enhancing road policing enforcement in high-risk districts and working with Auckland City Council and Auckland Regional Transport Authority to trial red light cameras in Auckland.
This partnership approach refl ects our commitment to work collaboratively with our road safety partners to achieve further road safety gains. This occurs at a national level through forums such as the National Road Safety Committee. At the territorial local authority level, the Road Safety Action Planning process empowers agencies at the local level to address local road safety issues. Police will be actively engaged with its partners in the preparation of local road safety action plans and the delivery of coordinated road safety services to improve road safety in all communities.
This programme outlines our activities for this year as we look to positive outcomes and playing our part in reducing death and trauma on New Zealand roads.
