Abstract

This research investigates the impact of the Te Huringa O Te Tai strategy on the relationship between Māori communities and the New Zealand Police – Ngā Pirihimana O Aotearoa. Utilising a mixed-methods approach, the study combines qualitative interviews with iwi leaders and police executives, alongside quantitative and qualitative survey data from police staff, to deliver a comprehensive understanding of how Te Huringa O Te Tai is perceived and implemented. The findings underscore both the successes and challenges in integrating Māori values into policing practices, fostering cultural responsiveness, and addressing systemic issues such as mental health, socioeconomic disparities, and discrimination. The research provides actionable recommendations to enhance the effectiveness of Te Huringa O Te Tai, with a focus on innovative leadership, cross-sector collaboration, training, and community engagement. This study contributes to the discourse on culturally responsive policing and serves as a model for future initiatives aimed at strengthening police-community relations.
