Lost property online

Members of the public can now make reports of lost property and property damage online through a new reporting tool on police’s website. It is being run as a trial, though police plan to expand the service so people can make other non-emergency reports online. “Online reporting is part of our plan to transform the services we provide to the public,” says Assistant Commissioner Service Jevon McSkimming. “We want New Zealanders to be able to connect with us anywhere, anytime.” The public will still be able to make reports through their local police stations or over the phone. To access Online Reporting go to www.police.govt.nz.
