In Police’s effort to review and improve the administration of the Arms Act, the Arms Act Service Delivery Group is looking closely at how Police can best deliver firearms related services to the public in a timely, consistent, and cost effective manner.
In June, the team met with staff, the firearms community and iwi members across the country to identify the opportunities and challenges in the current processes used by Police in the administration of the Arms Act. You can read more about the key themes that came out of those sessions on this page.
Since then, the team’s focuses have been on initiating discussions with solution providers to assess and identify a technical solution that will best facilitate the streamlined, automated future of firearms administration. The team have also facilitated workshops with Police subject matter experts from across the 12 Districts to redesign and simplify the key processes for firearms applications, permitting, endorsements, dealers and more.
In October, the team are keen to meet again with the firearms user community to test and gather feedback on some of the redesigned processes, and share a demo of how technology could streamline and automate these in the future.
