Better Police visibility and increased community engagement are being credited for a drop in crime victimisation.
About 28% of Kiwis experienced crime last year – the lowest rate since the Victims of Crime survey began in 2018.
Numbers of people assaulted and robbed were down 33 thousand.
Assistant Commissioner Jeanette Park told Mike Hosking officers can feel the change on the ground.
She says teams have been using their initiative, talking to people, and the morale is high, which all drives results.
