  • Executive Council

The Minister of Police is the minister in the New Zealand Government with responsibility for the New Zealand Police.

The current officeholder is Mark Mitchell.

History

Initially, responsibility for the police force had rested with the Minister of Defence but was instead allocated to the Minister of Justice in 1896. The minister responsible for police was, for the most part, the holder of either aforementioned office until it was later split into a separate full ministerial portfolio in 1969.
