As part of his Policing Friendship Tour, New Zealand Police invited Policing Insight and PolicingTV Publisher Bernard Rix to spend two weeks in New Zealand, filming in Christchurch, Wellington and Auckland. 

This interview with the New Zealand Police Commissioner, Andrew Coster, took place half way through that visit, in the Commissioner’s office in Police Headquarters in Wellington. The conversation provides an introduction to New Zealand Police, before exploring the style of policing in the country, the challenges that New Zealand Police face, and what the Commissioner – two years into his tenure – has and is hoping to achieve during his time in post.
