New Zealand Police plays an important part across Aotearoa, alongside our sector partners, in reducing harm on our roads through road safety prevention, education and enforcement activities. The National Road Policing Centre (NRPC) plays a critical role in facilitating and enabling Police to deliver road safety activities by providing important services to the Commissioner, Police Executive and Districts. The NRPC is made up of specialist teams that provide strategic and operational support to enable our frontline to keep people safe on our roads.
