1.3 - Analysis of Significant Trends

Between 2018/19 and 2021/22, Departmental Output Expenses will increase by $113.618 million (6.4%).

The increase largely relates totwo significant funding packages:

Striving Towards 1800 New Police $83.200 million - fundingtowards the 2017 NewZealand Labour Party and NewZealand 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", and

Safe, Confident and Resilient Communities: Investment in Policing $61.095 million - a package of initiatives across the justice sector that will significantly improve policing services for all NewZealanders. This includes funding for an additional 880 sworn officers and 245other employees.

Theseare partially offset by:

time limited funding for Radio Assurance $11.640 million

time limited funding for Integrated Safety Response programme $11.196 million, and

completion of the deployment mission for the Solomon Islands Policing Support Programme $2.735million.

Departmental Output Expenses increased by $181.012 million (12.0%) between 2013/14 to 2017/18, mainly due to new funding for increased personnel costs $169.773 million and the Road Policing Programme $17.997 million.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation

This appropriation will decrease by $3.645 million (2.5%) to $141.041 million for 2018/19.

This is partially offset by:

new funding in 2018/19 of $2.255 million for Striving Towards 1800 New Police

higherfunding in 2018/19 for Safe, Confident and Resilient Communities: Investment in Policing $1.031 million, and

increased funding in 2018/19 for Reform of Family Violence Law $990,000.
