Mō te tūnga | About the role:
An exciting opportunity exists in the Partnerships & Harm Prevention Team within the Investigations Group. The purpose of this team is to leverage our partnership and prevention opportunities across the system in order to make New Zealand the hardest place for organised criminals to do business.
Organised crime is a corrupting influence worldwide, and its scope and scale in New Zealand is growing, causing significant social, economic and reputational harm and threatening the safety of individuals and communities. Recognising that an issue of this seriousness and complexity requires a coordinated and multifaceted response, the Government has instituted a two-pronged cross-agency approach to combat organised crime and reduce the harms it causes to communities:
Transnational Organised Crime (TNOC) Strategy: a five-year strategy (2020-25), primarily focused on the supply-side and international context of organised crime. The Strategy brings together 19 government agencies to tackle TNOC by setting out a framework for a more coordinated, whole-of-system approach, with an increased focus on prevention.
Resilience to Organised Crime in Communities (ROCC) work programme: a multi-agency approach supporting locally-led responses to organised crime. The ROCC work programme combines a community resilience prevention approach with targeted enforcement to simultaneously address the harms and drivers of organised crime. Central to the approach is engaging with partners, iwi, and communities to co-design responses.
